Amazing, George - I had no idea that there was another asteroid-source
shower in the IMO list (besides the Geminids)! Nor that all these "non-
meteoroidal" objects were known to be parts of that stream!

What is a good reference for reading more on this topic of the Taurids
and their many and various components?? (Perhaps I'm not reading my
WGN issues closely enough?!) Thanks!

Clear skies,
