2007 Aurigids Shower
The Aurigids are a low activity shower that occasionally shows outbursts as we pass through dense debris streams (in 1935, 1986, and 1994). The source of the debris is Comet Kiess (C/1911 N1), a long period comet with a 2000 year orbit. It was predicted that in 2007 we would encounter a stream of debris left behind when the comet passed near the Earth in about 83 BCE. This prediction proved accurate.
