The Perseids are a prolific meteor shower associated with the comet Swift–Tuttle. The meteors are called the Perseids because the point from which they appear to hail(called the radiant) lies in the constellation Perseus.  1, record 1, English, - Perseids

perseidas: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que el nombre "perseidas" se escribe preferentemente con minúscula, pues no se trata del nombre propio de un objeto astronómico singular.  3, record 1, Spanish, - perseidas

Raytheon's IMS [Integrated Maritime Surveillance] uses land-based long-range surface wave radar, which transmits high frequency(HF) radio waves that follow the earth's curvature. The SWR-503 Surface Wave Radar detects and tracks aircraft, surface vessels and icebergs out to 500 km from the shore in a sector of up to 120 degrees. The radar also provides current and surface wind data. At an Operations Control Centre, the IMS system correlates detections from surface wave radar sites with identification information from ADS systems and other sensors. All of this data is fused to create a database and display system providing a complete picture of surface and air activity in the EEZ. Vessel tracks can be run backward and forward in time, enhancing military patrols and coast guard search-and-rescue efforts as well as oil spill control, drug interdiction, and iceberg alerts. Applications for HF Surface Wave Radar are being developed in fields such as Theatre Ballistic Missile and Meteor Shower Detection.  5, record 3, English, - high%2Dfrequency%20surface%20wave%20radar

Just as the rails of a track seem to diverge from a distant point, so the trails of meteors in a shower appear to spread from a point or small area in the sky. The "radiant" of a meteor shower is the vanishing point in the perspective of the parallel trails; it is located by extending the trails backward.  1, record 5, English, - radiant

On observe systématiquement des "essaims météoriques" qui au cours d'un certain intervalle de temps (quelques nuits) apparaissent à peu près dans la même région du ciel. Si on prolonge leurs traces en arrière, ces traces se rencontreront près d'un point qu'on appelle "radiant".  1, record 5, French, - radiant
