Detailed analysis has been revealed about the 144 fireballs that came from the Taurid meteor shower, which had been observed by the European Fireball Network back in 2015 showed an orbital structure that was well defined, has been responsible for the Taurid activity that was enhanced during the same year. The comparison of the Orbit revealed that a new branch of Taurids has at least two asteroids that are about 200 to 300 meters in size.
