TL;DR Summary

The Taurids meteor shower, known for its slow-moving meteors and fireballs, will peak tonight, coinciding with a new moon that will provide darker skies for better viewing. The Taurids are debris from Comet Encke and are expected to produce around five meteors an hour. The best time to watch is after midnight in clear weather, although blustery showers in Scotland may obstruct the view. If you miss the Taurids, the Leonids meteor shower, with up to 10 meteors an hour, will peak starting Friday.
