"Stargazers Alert: Witness the Spectacular Taurid Meteor Shower's Fiery Orange Fireballs Tonight!"

The Taurid meteor shower, one of the longest meteor showers of 2023, begins tonight. Although not the most active, it produces bright, long-lasting meteors known as fireballs. The shower consists of two streams: the Southern Taurids and the Northern Taurids. The Southern Taurids start this weekend and peak in mid-October, while the Northern Taurids peak in November. Both streams radiate from the constellation Taurus the Bull. The best time to see the meteors is after midnight when Taurus is high in the sky. The Southern Taurids have the potential for fireballs, making them worth watching. The Taurid meteor shower is caused by debris from Comet Encke, a short-period comet with a nucleus of about 4.8km in diameter.
