In 1995 scientists discovered something interesting, Comet 73P broke up into itty bitty and not so itty bitty pieces. They later predicted we may see a meteor shower or even a storm as earth passes through remnants on May 30/31 2022.

Well, we’re only a few days away from something that according to reports might be just a really kewl meteor shower (up to 60 meteors per hour), a meteor storm (120 meteors or more per hour), or something very extraordinary (140,000)

For those living along the eastern seaboard of the United States. I’d suggest start looking NE towards Cassiopeia and Perseus around 11pm 30 May. Peak shower/storm is around 1am 31 May.

If it’s something extraordinary I suggest hiding in a bunker. Some of those pieces are pretty damn big. Good luck everyone

Back to serious discussion.

I'll try to figure out in which direction I should look to see them

Looking for a link to the GRAVES RADAR I came across this link. I believe time stamp is current UTC.

If skies are cloudy you could listen for meteors. I think they may be tuned to 143.050 MHz
