The annual celestial light show is caused by cosmic dust and debris left in Earth’s orbital path by Comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle.

I just don't buy this.

No other solar system objects always appear at the same location in the celestial sky; just these various meteor showers.

And if the earth truly passed through a cloud of debris, that debris would be attracted to the earth from all directions as we passed through it.

I can see that astronomy is not your forte.

Carry on.

If you don’t want to watch, then don’t.
