Shouldn’t it be called A Bootes?

edit

If it originates just NW of Arcturus shouldn’t it be renamed A Bootes? 2601:84:8900:E400:D94A:7EA3:FC36:6FC8 (talk) 18:47, 31 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Many meteor showers have migrated to different constellations since they were discovered due to planetary perturbations changing the orbits of the meteoroid streams. They just do not bother renaming them as it would cause just as much confusion as it would fix. -- Kheider (talk) 13:23, 1 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
