CAMS P.I. Dr. Peter Jenniskens of the SETI Institute reports that the southern hemisphere stations of CAMS just detected a meteor outburst from an eccentric sunskirter comet orbit on 2021 June 9 – 14. It is the green cluster just below the ecliptic plane in the radiant data visualization at http://cams.seti.org/FDL/ for the dates of 2021 June 10–13. This stream comes very close to the Sun, with perihelion distance of 0.07 Astronomical Units, and moves in a very elongated orbit. Similar activity was detected last year, from 2020 June 6 to 14, with a broad maximum on June 10, but not in years prior from 2011 to 2019. The shower has a compact radiant off-center from that of shower 165 (Southern June Aquillids), which will increase in activity later this month, and the radar-detected shower 765 (alpha Sagittariids). The shower is now called the June theta2 Sagittariids and was added to the IAU Working List of Meteor Showers as number 1129 with code JTT.
