ORIONID METEORS 2008
      P. Jenniskens, SETI Institute, reports that last year´s strong activity
of the Orionid meteor shower on Oct. 20.4-24.2 UT (cf. CBET 1108) may
continue into 2008 and 2009, according to M. Sato and J.-I. Watanabe (PASJ
59, L21); they ascribed the 2007 activity to dust trails of comet 1P/Halley
that were formed by meteoroids ejected in the years -1265, -1197, and -910.
The orbital evolution is affected by the 1:6 mean-motion resonance with
Jupiter.  This so-called "filament" is expected to be in the earth´s path
again around Oct. 18-24 in 2008 and again in 2009, giving rise to a higher-
than-normal Orionid-shower activity that is relatively rich in bright
meteors.  M. Sato (National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, Tokyo)
predicts an encounter with the -1265 dust trail in the period 2h13m-8h08m
UT on 2008 Oct. 19, peaking earlier than in 2007.  The approach distance is
slightly larger than in 2007, which could result in lower peak rates.
