Camelopardalids Meteor Shower May 23

Gary Fujihara did explain this at Imiloa last during last Fridays talk... comet responsible passed a few hundred years ago, gravitational pulls by Jupiter effect the comets dust stream & a little bit to do with rotational planes not quite always on the exact same plane...

PS: Camelopard is a spotted camel...long necked, live in African savanna with blue black tongues, right?

2nd add: Lee- that would be the spots, long neck, African savanna & blue black tongue part... scientific name: Giraffa camelopardalis
