And still on June 27, we should attend a shooting star shower, the Bootids. It is a swarm of meteors whose radian, ie the point in the sky from which the shooting stars seem to come, is in the constellation Bouvier. This constellation of Bouvier gave the name of “Bootides” and is located not far from the Big Dipper.
The swarm is active from June 22 until early July. This meteor shower occurs when Earth crosses the orbit of Comet Pons-Winnecke. It is a swarm that does not usually produce many meteors but with this kind of phenomenon, we are never safe from a burst, as was the case in 1998, with nearly 100 meteors per hour .
