2000-Year-Old Meteors

2000-Year-Old Meteors to Rain Down on August 31, 2007 - Yahoo! News

The meteors that are about to rain down in the early morning of September 1
date from around 4 A.D., the latest calculations show.

If you spot one of those meteors, you may be only the fourth person alive who is known to have seen this meteor shower. In recent times, the shower was spotted in 1994 by two observers and in 1986 by one observer.

If you are lucky enough to catch a picture of an Aurigid meteor using your digital camera, you will be the very first to do so.
