sounds nice..
so.. is this "Aurigids" a whole new meteor shower or an existing one that we wouldnt likely spot?

has always been around. prolly next year, the earth's orbit would pass better in sync with the debris. hence, better showers

Hi folks:
Unfortunately we are *NOT* in the ring seat for the predicted dust encounter next year. US is favoured.

Sometimes these predicted meteor storms tend to be rather localised over a certain geographical location at a specific time, so unless you want to fly there....
