November Nights Illuminate with Meteor Showers and Halloween Festivities

November will bring three meteor showers, the Southern Taurid, Northern Taurid, and Leonid, providing stargazers with overlapping opportunities to witness shooting stars. The Taurids are known for producing fireballs, while the Leonids are bright with persistent trains. The best viewing for the Taurids will be around midnight on November 11-12, with an average rate of 5-10 meteors per hour. The Leonids will peak on the night of November 17-18, with an average rate of 15-20 meteors per hour. This November will be a meteor-rich month, making it a great time for stargazing.
