TL;DR Summary

The Southern Taurids meteor shower, which has been active since September, will peak tonight, offering a chance to see fireballs streaking through the night sky. The Taurids are part of a meteor stream originating from comet Encke and are known for their rich display of fireballs. To increase the chances of spotting one, find a dark spot away from light pollution and focus on the area where Jupiter is located. Other meteor shower peaks, such as the Leonids, Geminids, and Ursids, are expected later this year.
