COMET MAY CAUSE METEORIC DISPLAY
If you watch the sky during the nights of early June, you may be treated to an unusual display of meteors, or “shooting stars.”
For comet 1930d, as the astronomers call the new visitor to the heavens discovered by the Germans Schwassmann and Wachmann, is expected to cause a meteoric display about June 9, radiating from the region of the sky slightly west of the constellation of Hercules and above the Northern Crown. This is the prediction of the Japanese astronomer Prof. Issei Yamamoto of Kyoto, Japan, and American astronomers are urging all interested to keep a sharp lookout for an unusual number of meteors.
