Catch the Taurid Meteor Shower's Dazzling Fireballs This Week

The Southern Taurids meteor shower, known for its bright fireballs, will peak on Monday night into early Tuesday, offering a spectacular display for sky-gazers. The shower, visible after midnight, is characterized by larger, brighter meteors, though it produces only about five meteors per hour. The Taurids, originating from Comet Encke, are active from September to December, with optimal viewing conditions due to a low moon phase. The Northern Taurids will peak a week later, potentially increasing meteor visibility.
