In 1974, the 36-page "Volume 1: Men & Magic" pamphlet was published as part of the original Dungeons & Dragons boxed set and included 12 pages about magic.It primarily describes individual spells where the "spells often but not always have both duration and ranges, and the explanation of spells frequently references earlier Chainmail materials".
The Taurids are an annual meteor shower, associated with the comet Encke.The Taurids are actually two separate showers, with a Southern and a Northern component. The Southern Taurids originated from Comet Encke, while the Northern Taurids originated from the asteroid 2004 TG 10, possibly a large fragment of Encke due to its similar orbital parameters.
The Taurid swarm was expected to pass 0.06 AU (9,000,000 km; 5,600,000 mi) below the ecliptic between June 23 – July 17. [6] During 2019 astronomers searched for hypothesized asteroids ~100 meters in diameter from the Taurid swarm between July 5–11, and July 21 – August 10. [7] There were no reports of discoveries of any such objects.
There are two branches of the Delta Aquariid meteor shower, Southern and Northern. The Southern Delta Aquariids are considered a strong shower, with an average meteor observation rate of 15–20 per hour, and a peak zenithal hourly rate of 18. The average radiant is at RA=339°, DEC=−17°.
While meteor showers last for days, the per hour rate of meteors will be best during the peak and the highest as dawn approaches. The Quadrantids will be active until Jan. 16 , according to the ...
Meteor showers will be few and far between during the first half of 2025, but two will peak in the spring sky. The Lyrids will unfold first on the night of Monday, April 21, into Tuesday, April 22 ...
The Eta Aquariids were the first meteor shower linked to Halley's comet and are usually two to three times stronger than the October Orionids. The Eta Aquariids are the third strongest annual meteor shower observable at Earth and occur at the descending node of Halley's comet. The descending node reached its closest distance to Earth around 500.
The Arietids, along with the Zeta Perseids, are the most intense daylight meteor showers of the year. [3] The source of the shower is unknown, but scientists suspect that they come from the asteroid 1566 Icarus , [ 3 ] [ 4 ] although the orbit also corresponds similarly to 96P/Machholz .
