Sept. 1, 2007 is marked for a possible spectacular meteor shower linked to the Aurigids, the astronomers who discovered this Esko Lyytinen of Finland and Peter Jenniskens used computer models to predict outbursts of the Leonid meteor shower, which wowed skywatchers in 2000 and 2001
I fIrst came across the story at Irish Astronomy.org's website in a forum here http://www.irishastronomy.org/boards/viewtopic.php?t=4731&highlight=2007+shower
