20 meteors per hour at its peak. It is produced by dust particles left behind by comet C/1861 G1
Thatcher, which was discovered in 1861. The shower runs annually from April 16-25. It peaks this year on
the night of the night of the 22nd and morning of the 23rd. These meteors can sometimes produce bright
