A meteor shower happens when the Earth passes through debris left in space by a comet. The debris which are little chunks of rock and other material burns up in the atmosphere to form what some people call shooting or falling stars. The Camelopardalid will be debris from Comet 209P/LINEAR, a very dim comet that orbits the sun every five years. The comet was discovered in 2004 by the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research project.
