Re: Guide 9 - Representation of meteor showers

alfredo caronia Jul 7, 2013

Good Day! Bill Gray!

I turn to you my request sent to yahoo groups, to know what is the solution
to this problem!

Probably must wait a long time until the IAU determines the inclusion
of new meteor
showers, but I understand that there is no uniformity in the list of the
acronyms
of the various meteor showers!
To solve this problem in order to order to have a list of meteor showers always
up to date and complete, I ask to Bill Gray
what solution he suggests!

Regards!
