Halloween Fireballs

HALLOWEEN FIREBALLS:  This weekend, Earth could run into a stream of gravelly debris from Comet Encke, source of the annual Taurid meteor shower.  The last time this happened, ten years ago in Oct. 2005, the encounter sparked a two-week display of bright meteors called the "Halloween fireballs."  Will it happen again in 2015?
