The outburst revealed a weak annual shower that had not been mapped before, with a possible earlier outburst in 2014. The shower was caused by the crumbs of a yet-to-be discovered comet in a high-inclined orbit.

Scientists are getting closer in their search for life beyond earth. But with limited federal funding for the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, supporters are the reason cutting-edge scientists can keep their eyes on the sky.
