The 2P/Encke comet fuels this one and it peaks a couple of weeks away from Halloween. This one is paired with the Northern Taurids to make the Taurids meteor shower.

The Taurid meteor shower is caused by the debris — ice and dust — from comet 2P/Encke as it passes through our solar system.

PRINCETON, N.J., Dec. 17.--Encke's comet was found last night by Prof. Young, of Princeton College. He observed it at the Halstead Observatory, very near to the predicted place.

The Taurid meteor shower is caused by the debris ice and dust from comet 2P/Encke as it passes through our solar system. The debris stream from Encke is so large and spread out that it takes Earth a ...

While the North Taurids are produced by dust grains left behind by asteroid 2004 TG10, the Southern is produced by debris left behind by Comet 2P Encke. Recommended reading: ...

EarthSky.com explains that an asteroid called 2004 TG10 is believed to have produced the Northern Taurids. The Southern Taurids, however, originated from Encke’s Comet, or 2P/Encke.

They appear to have been formed by 10 or more related space rocks including the comet 2P/Encke. One hypothesis is that Comet Encke was previously part of an even larger comet that broke apart ...

The Southern Taurids are a result of a trail left by the comet 2P/Encke, and while the Northern Taurids may also be caused by a separate trail from Encke, some suggest that they may result from a ...

Right now, Earth is passing through two debris trails at once: one from an asteroid called 2004 TG 10 (and possibly a few other asteroids; more on that below), and another from Comet 2P/Encke.
