Actually. . . on October 8, 2018. . . less than 20 years from now. . . there
is a fair chance that we "may" encounter a meteor storm courtesy of the
Giacobinids. Earth will follow the comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner to its node by
just a mere 22 days, with the distance between the orbit of Earth and comet
separated by just 0.018 a.u.
