Thatcher falls to Earth
The Royal Observatory writes to say that if we look to the East tonight we stand a good chance of seeing the Comet Thatcher dumping debris into the upper atmosphere at the rate of 50 kilometres per second. The Lyrids meteor shower is an annual event. Anyone know how comets get their names? Is there a committee for this?
