The Taurids are part of the meteoroid stream complex associated with Comet 2P/Encke. Studies by David Asher have indicated that increased Taurid fireball rates may result from a “swarm” of larger particles within the Taurid complex, and he suggested such “swarm” return might possibly occur in 2008, albeit rather uncertain. The most recent swarm encounter, in 2005, produced a lot of very brilliant fireballs and enhanced ZHRs of ~10-15, that persisted from about October 29 to November 10. Observations of the Taurids are highly encouraged and results of visual work are made available in automated ZHR-graphs.
