The Perseids meteor shower happens regularly in August , around the 12th,
every year, 50-100 meteors every hour. Lasts for 5 days. Its parent body is
Comet 103P/Swift-Tuttle. It is regarded as the most dependable of all meteor
showers.

Otherwise, how would they know when and where a meteorite shower will
happen?

Swan Hellenic Discovery Cruises Presents a Meteorite Shower from the Middle
of the Ocean

Imagine the scene - miles away from land, completely devoid of light
pollution, aboard one of the world's most sophisticated cruise ships,
viewing a meteorite shower from the middle of the Mediterranean ocean.

Award-winning Swan Hellenic's state of the art cruise ship Minerva II is set
to offer this unique cruising experience. As well as visiting exciting
destinations including Spain, Morocco, Italy, France, Malta and Greece,
guests on board this 15 - day cruise (departing from Cadiz on 6th August)
will witness a breathtaking astronomical phenomenon - a meteorite shower -
while at sea.

Professional astronomer Dr. Malcolm Coe will be giving on board talks to
guests set to experience the meteorite shower entitled 'Astronomy Old and
New, and Its Connections with the Sites Visited'. Having worked for NASA
investigating the Universe, published scientist Dr. Coe will ensure that
guests aboard Minerva II will have a once in a lifetime, astronomical
experience.

Dr. Malcolm Coe is just one of the high-profile Guest Speakers that form an
important part of the Swan Hellenic discovery cruising experience. Alongside
Dr. Coe on this particular cruise are the former Reith Lecturer for the BBC
and retired columnist for The Daily Telegraph Dr. Edward Norman; Dr. Douglas
Campbell, who currently lectures at Duke University, North Carolina and has
a forthcoming Channel 4 series in the pipeline based on Christianity's
subversion of paganism; and art historian Dr. Penny McCracken, whose speech
will be entitled 'Moorish architecture in Andalusia; a history of gardens'.
