Taurid Meteor Shower Peaks with Spectacular Fireballs

The Southern Taurids reach their peak visibility this week, offering a dazzling display of bright meteors in the night sky.

The Taurid meteor shower, originating from Comet Encke, is known for its bright and slow-moving fireballs visible from late September to December.
The Southern Taurids peaked on November 5, with optimal viewing conditions due to a dim 11% full moon, allowing for clearer skies.
The Northern Taurids will peak on November 11-12, but a 79% full moon may hinder visibility during this period.
Observers can see up to five meteors per hour, with fireballs appearing brighter and lasting longer than typical meteors.
For the best viewing experience, find a dark area away from city lights and allow your eyes 30 minutes to adjust to the darkness.
