"Tonight's Northern Taurid Meteor Shower: How to Catch the Spectacular Show"

TL;DR Summary
The Northern Taurid meteor shower, the second part of the Taurid meteor shower, will peak on November 12-13, 2023. Although the shower has a low hourly rate, there is a chance of seeing fireballs or shooting stars. The Taurids originate from the constellation Taurus, with the Northern Taurids radiating slightly further north. The best time to view the shower is when Taurus is high in the sky, with the peak occurring on November 13 at 12:21 am. The shower is caused by the remnants of the asteroid 2004 TG10, and it is unique due to its long-lasting display and two distinct streams.
