According to Ebelhard of University of New Hampshire, there will be about 50 meteors in the show. The viewers can easily see the meteors by sitting on their chair. However these will be available for a few seconds as these will move very fast.

According to Mobius, these meteors are the particles taken from the comet. These also hit the atmosphere at around 140,000 miles an hour.
