If you're feeling up for a little excitement on Thursday night, then I'd encourage you to stay up for the never-before-seen meteor shower called Camelopardalids that will be taking place. It will be Astronomers said the meteor showers such as Leonids and Perseids have been happening for hundreds of years, but Camelopardalids would be happening for the first time. The chunks of rock and material, left by comet 209P/Linear will burn up in the atmosphere to form shooting or falling stars.
The storm, Abdul Wahab said, would see dense outbursts of bright multiple meteors and provide in excess of 1,000 shooting stars an hour during the peak happening. Lowest expectation would be 60-100 meteors an hour throughout the night, he said.
