Where they come from: Asteroid 2003 EH1

Dust from 2003 EH1, a small asteroid that is probably a burnt-out comet. Earth crosses its thin, young stream at a steep angle, which is why the peak lasts only hours.

The estimate is how many you might really see from a dark spot here, allowing for how high the shower climbs and for moonlight. "Under a perfect sky" is the best case. The bar also counts the forecast cloud at the best time, so a clouded-out night sits at the bottom, as does rain on the radar now.

Its peak is short: only a few hours either side of it are worth watching.
