	AN ANTIDOTE TO VELIKOVSKIAN DELUSIONS
		This passage almost certainly refers to a spectacular event in the Taurid complex whose meteors radiate from near the Pleiades, which "were associated with the traditions of a widespread destruction by fire from heaven, probably remembrance of a devastating rain of meteors" (O.E. Scott, The Stars of Myth and Fact, 1942, p.
		Morrison fails to distinguish properly between the stochastic model, marked by random hard impacts of 1-km objects on a time scale of 100,000 years, and Clube and Napier's model, in which the main threat is from aerial detonations of multiple-Tunguskas (and larger) in a flux of massive fireball storms.
		When proto-Encke faded and the Taurids declined in activity, the fear inspired by a particular comet was transferred to comets in general.

	AMS Meteor Shower FAQ
		Other major showers (such as the Taurids) have a broader maximum, which can span across a few nights.
		Meteor streams also vary greatly in strength between each other, depending upon such factors as the stream age, parent body composition, stream particle density and distribution, and how close the earth approaches to the stream core.
		Of the 10 major meteor showers, the low-rate showers (such as the Taurids and April Lyrids) will produce only about 10-15 meteors per hour at their peak under good conditions, while the high-rate showers (such as the Perseids or Geminids) can produce up to 50-100 meteors per hour at their peaks.
