Why did the much-expected fireworks turn into disappointing stray flashes?
How is it that some saw many, others a few?
Why was the shower so magnificent in China and not in India?
Do such predictions often go wrong?
What is the margin of error in such predictions?
Will we see the shower again next year and will it be equally spectacular?
Can we expect a more accurate prediction?
Can we look forward to similar meteor showers in the near future?
Is this the last visit of the Tempel-Tuttle comet to earth?
Any reports of satellites being affected by the debris?
