On  August 18 from 16:00 to 16:05 Peter Jenniskens will make an announcement 
at  the General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union in Prague  
about an
"Aurigid Meteor Storm, 1 September 2007" (in an earlier Version of  the 
website -
http://www.astronomy2006.com/special-sessions-hot-topics.php  - it actually 
said
"The 2007 September 1 Aurigid Meteor Storm", as if it  were an absolute fact).
Has anyone heard about such a prediction? If you  google for "Aurigid Meteor 
Storm"
you get exactly one hit: the website  mentioned above ...



With many thanks to Esko Lyytinen, I was able to file 
the following story about the Aurigids this afternoon at the SPACE.com  
website:
