"Upcoming Meteor Showers and Fireballs: A Skywatcher's Guide to Fremont"
Stargazers in Fremont, California have the best chances of seeing the Taurid meteors this weekend, with shooting stars continuing throughout November. The Taurids consist of two debris streams, the Southern Taurids and Northern Taurids, both of which are currently active. The Southern Taurids are predicted to peak overnight on Sunday, making any night this weekend a good time for skywatching. However, cloudy weather may obstruct the view until Tuesday. The Taurids are known for producing a higher percentage of fireballs, but expectations should be kept low for a repeat of last year's "Taurid fireball swarm." The Taurids will remain active through December, intersecting with the upcoming Leonids, Geminids, Ursids, and Quadrantids meteor showers.
