Read this text. Meteor showers, such as the Geminids, Leonids, Lyrids, and Perseids, are often named for the constellations from which they appear to originate. Is this an appropriate use of an ellipsis? "Meteor showers . . . are often named for the constellations from which they appear to originate."

Yes, the ellipsis is used appropriately in this sentence to indicate an omission of words between "Meteor showers" and "are often named for the constellations from which they appear to originate."
