The Aurigid meteor shower is an intermittent meteor shower that hits the earth at erratic intervals. In 1911, the comet Kiess passed near Earth's orbit. All Aurigid showers since then are remnants of this passage.NASA:Strange Lights: The 2007 Aurigid Meteor Shower Recent advances in astronomy technology allowed the most recent shower to be predicted a short while in advance.
