About  the tau-Herculids, here are the closest distance of the stream to 
the  Earth and the corresponding time:

2006 => 0.053 au, May 31st
2022  => 0.002 and 0.004 au, on May 30th-31st (2 trails)
Hello again, Jeremie --
 
In regard to your graphics concerning the Tau Herculids, for 2022 you have  
two "double pronged" dust trails depicted . . . one for 1892 and another for  
1897.  Does this mean that you did NOT find any Earth interaction  with the 
dust that might have been expelled/released after the nucleus of  73P fractured 
in 1995 (Re: 2001 WGN article by Hartung Luthen, Rainer Arlt  and Michael 
Jager)?
 
Also . . . you have a link to the Tau Herculids in 2039; the graphic  also 
indicates this year. Yet your WGN paper indicates 2049 as the year for  this 
shower.
