[Data-modeling] Comet & Meteor Shower type proposed modifications

On Sandbox I changed the name/property of Constellation in the Meteor  
Shower type to Radiant (links still to Constellation type) and added  
to Comet type the property 'Source of Meteor Shower' (links to Meteor  
Shower type).

This should make it easier to capture the data where is the perceived  
meteor shower source in the observed sky and the actual determined  
source cometary body of a meteor shower.

Should have minimal impact on anybody's existing outside applications  
(actually I am unaware of any application that uses Freebase's  
Astronomy data at this time). Let me know if there are any objections/ 
desired modifications. I will wait for a week before making the  
modifications to Freebase for Meteor Shower & Comet types.
