Situs illius cometae, qui gregem meteororum creavit, nondum compertus est. The position of that comet which created the meteor shower has not yet been discovered.

Nihilominus in classem quinque cometarum describitur, qui cometae periodi longae nominati Telluri periculosissimi habentur. However, it is described in a group of five comets, which are considered to be the most dangerous long-period comets on Earth.

Orbitae enim illorum prope Tellurem sitae sunt et facile mutantur, quia perturbationibus gravitationis sunt expositae. In fact, their orbits are located close to the Earth and are easily changed, because they are exposed to perturbations of gravity.

Periculum quidem collisionis exstat, sed mathematice aestimantibus est minimum. There is indeed a risk of collision, but mathematically it is minimal.
