A new and never before seen meteor shower is possible this month. Some researchers say there could be as many as 200 per hour or it could be a dud showing. The comet trail debris we'll travel through on the night of the 23rd-24th was laid out in space when the gold rush boom days of the 1800's were hoppin'! Who knows what we'll see, all the prospectors back then were too busy diggin' I guess to notice what the comet was doing then.
