Tadros said that meteorite meteorite this year is consistent with the advent of Eid al-Adha, as well as the presence of the moon in the phase of Ahdab (pre-full moon), which will negatively affect the vision of a large number of dark meteors.
He explained: The reason for the fall of the meteor showers is usually due to the entrance of the Earth as it orbits the sun on the way of the old comets that leave their remains and remains along their journeys around from the sun, when this waste enters the atmosphere. The packages are Swift-Tuttle, which ends its orbit around the sun every 133 years.
