This visualization shows the positions of observed (Earth) and predicted (Mars, Venus) meteor showers along the orbit of the planets.
Brigh colors are daytime showers, dark ones are nighttime showers; small dots represent slower meteors that are presumed to be less bright, larger dots show speedy meteoroids.
