Spectacular Taurid Meteor Shower Peaks Tonight with Fireballs
TL;DR Summary
The North Taurid meteor shower is set to peak on Monday night, offering a chance to see bright fireballs in the night sky. Originating from the breakup of a large comet 10,000 years ago, the North Taurids are active from October 20 to December 10. Although 2024 is expected to be a low-activity year with fewer than 5 meteors per hour, the shower will be visible across the U.S. after midnight, especially near the constellation Taurus. Observers are advised to use their unaided eyes for the best viewing experience.
