hi-  I was wondering given all the uncertainty as to whether there is a meteor shower associated with this asteroid... is it possible for a shower on Jan 7th (the point of closest approach- maybe a few bright fireballs?)?  Or if there is a shower associated, would it be later (and not any brighter than an average year)?

thanks for any info-

Mark

ps-  this asteroid is about to start making all the headlines:
