Template:Short description The Canis-Minorids, also called the Beta Canis Minorids,[1] are a meteor shower that arises near the fifth-magnitude star 11 Canis Minoris. They were discovered in 1964 by Keith Hindley, who investigated their trajectory and proposed a common origin with the comet C/1917 F1 (Mellish).[2] However, this conclusion has been disputed, as the number of orbits analysed was low and their trajectories too disparate to confirm a link.[3] They last from 21 to 28 December, tienen su máximo entre el 23 y 25 de febrero .[4]
