Taurid meteor swarm is the remains of an ancient comet which broke up. It is also the same swarm which is believed to contain some really large mile diameter chunks - two of these chunks are believed to have hit the Earth causing the end of the last Ice Age and 1000 years later, the Younger Dryas (the coldest period ever) - and the destruction of the then existing worldwide civilization.

Do not mess with the Taurids
