On September 1, 2007, there will be a meteor shower called the "alpha Aurigids", which was only seen on Earth three times.
The shower probably won't return for at least 50 years, according to Jenniskens' calculations. "It's a once in a lifetime event." (2007, NewScientist.com)

There is also a meteor shower for August since August is known as the best time for viewing meteor showers. Among the famous meteor showers of August is the Perseids meteor shower. The peak of the meteor shower was observed on the late night of August 12 until the dawn of the following day. The perseids meteor shower is usually seen on August 10 - 14 every year. Under a clear sky, you may be lucky enough to see 60 to 100 meteors per hour.
