What you need to know about the Camelopardalid meteor shower
The cosmos has aligned, quite literally, for families, space geeks and insomniacs alike, as the Earth is set to intercept a new meteor shower late Friday into Saturday.
The scientists who discovered the cosmic debris say the Camelopardalid shower could be "significant."
Some forecasts show 200 to 1,000 meteors an hour between 2 and 4 a.m. Eastern Time on Saturday.
