On Earth meteor showers occur when we pass through dirt in space, usually from the debris or remains of a comet's tail. Any planet that passes through a dirty part of space and then has that dirt burn out above it will be a place that you can see meteor showers.
The Perseids meteor shower takes place each August and is associated with the constellation Perseus. The shower occurs when the Earth passes through the debris left by the comet Swift-Tuttle.
Yes. There are several meteor 'showers' every year.
Oh, happy little meteor showers! In 2017, the best meteor shower was the Perseids in August. To marvel at this celestial dance, you'll want to find a spot away from city lights with a wide, open view of the night sky. Remember, nature's beauty is all around us, you just have to take a moment and look up.
There is no record of a meteor shower specifically occurring in Kansas in 1989. However, meteor showers like the Leonids and Perseids are annual events that can be seen worldwide, including in Kansas, during their peak times of activity.

Perseids, associated with debris from comet Swift-Tuttle, peaking sometime on August 12 but likely visible a night before and a night after.
The comet responsible for the Leonids meteor shower is Comet Tempel-Tuttle, which takes about 33 years to complete one orbit around the sun. When Earth passes through the debris trail left behind by this comet, we experience the annual Leonids meteor shower.
The same meteor showers take place every year, so in 1998 the Perseids, Leonids, Orionids, Lyrids and the other annual showers would all have taken place.The same meteor showers take place every year, so in 1998 the Perseids, Leonids, Orionids, Lyrids and the other annual showers would all have taken place.The same meteor showers take place every year, so in 1998 the Perseids, Leonids, Orionids, Lyrids and the other annual showers would all have taken place.The same meteor showers take place every year, so in 1998 the Perseids, Leonids, Orionids, Lyrids and the other annual showers would all have taken place.The same meteor showers take place every year, so in 1998 the Perseids, Leonids, Orionids, Lyrids and the other annual showers would all have taken place.The same meteor showers take place every year, so in 1998 the Perseids, Leonids, Orionids, Lyrids and the other annual showers would all have taken place.The same meteor showers take place every year, so in 1998 the Perseids, Leonids, Orionids, Lyrids and the other annual showers would all have taken place.The same meteor showers take place every year, so in 1998 the Perseids, Leonids, Orionids, Lyrids and the other annual showers would all have taken place.The same meteor showers take place every year, so in 1998 the Perseids, Leonids, Orionids, Lyrids and the other annual showers would all have taken place.The same meteor showers take place every year, so in 1998 the Perseids, Leonids, Orionids, Lyrids and the other annual showers would all have taken place.The same meteor showers take place every year, so in 1998 the Perseids, Leonids, Orionids, Lyrids and the other annual showers would all have taken place.
Doubtful. To answer fully, you really need to supply a location and direction in which the object was observed. If it was a star, then it was nothing to do with the Perseid's The Perseid shower was viewable in the NE around the constellation Perseus.
You have to be outdoors, under a clear sky, at night. It also helps if you can get away from the lights of a city, out in the country where you see a lot of stars. The peak of the Perseids has passed, but a few will be visible during Wednesday night, August 12 - 13.
The leonid vandeski (Leonids Meteor Shower) is a prolific meteor shower associated with the comet Tempel-Tuttle
