What are meteor outbursts?
A meteor "outburst" is an unexpected, generally fairly intense, meteor shower. They are probably associated with extinct comets, but we don't know what the origin is. Meteor "showers" occur when the Earth passes through the debris path left in the orbit of extinct or decaying comets. There are more than a dozen fairly predictable meteor showers, which are generally identified by the name of the astronomical constellation from which the meteors "appear to" radiate. For example, there's a pretty broad band of dust and pebbles that cross the Earth's orbit in early-to-mid August which come from the direction of the constellation Perseus; we call these the "Perseids", and are generally best seen between August 10 and August 13 each year.
