Nice video, but they could have done some better research.  They didn't give a single piece of info that was correct except the name of the annual shower.  Annual showers are not from an extinct constellation they are from comet or asteroid debris trails.  The comet that left the trail may now be extinct, but the only connection with a constellation is that all the trails will seem to radiate from the same point in the sky during the shower.  A shower is usually named for the constellation that contains the point in the sky where they seem to radiate from.

You think those TV personalities didn't know what they were talking about before?  Turns out it wasn't a meteor show after all.
