Fellow Earthlings! We may be in for a stellar delight tonight. For the first time ever, Earth will pass through the tail of comet 209/P LINEAR, creating a brand new, never-before-seen meteor shower. Because we don't know anything about them, the Camelopardalids have the potential to be one of the most dramatic meteor showers ever -- a so-called meteor storm -- or, on the other hand, there might not be more than a few dozen shooting stars per hour. There's only one way to find out: Stay up late tonight and look to the skies!
