The 鈥淧oint of Origin鈥 refers to the radiant, the point from which the meteors appear to emerge (although this is partly due to perspective, as the meteors in a shower are actually traveling parallel to each other). When a radiant point is above the horizon, more meteors may be visible (the higher the radiant is in the sky, the more the meteors that can be seen). However, one should not look at the radiant, but instead select a part of the sky away from it to see the longest meteor paths. Some prefer to look straight up, to keep an eye on the most sky, or look where the sky is darkest. Meteors can appear anywhere in the sky—just focus on one spot, and you are likely to see one or more at some time during your skywatching. Hope this helps!
