Beta Taurids are the same meteoroid stream as the Taurids (which form a meteor shower in late October). The Earth intersects this stream of debris twice, once in late October and once in late June, forming two separate meteor showers. However, because the October event occurs at night, it is far more visible and better known than the Beta Taurids, which peak during daylight hours

Note to self: the Taurids contain anywhere from 100 to 200 asteroids that are about 1 kilometer in length. One of those alone could wipeout an entire European country. For some reason most humans have no clue about this. Basically, many of us could see the end in the next couple of weeks.
