A Corvid meteor shower was observed once, in late June of 1937. On June 18, 1178, the upper horn of a crescent Moon was reported to have split, with fire and sparks emanating from the division point. This report was interpreted to be a description of events related to the formation of the lunar crater, Giordano Bruno. Corvid meteoroids are judged to be Giordano Bruno ejecta fragments based on similarities in their heliocentric positions, directions of motion, and speeds. Commensurability relationships between meteoroid/ejecta and Earth-Moon system orbital periods enable definitive predictions of Corvid showers in the years 2003 and/or 2006. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1992 |
