"Get ready for a spectacular show: Southern Taurid meteor shower peaks this weekend!"
The Southern Taurid meteor shower is set to peak this weekend, offering sky-gazers the chance to see fireballs in the night sky. While the shower typically has a low frequency of only five meteors per hour, it is known for its bright fireballs. The best time to observe the meteor shower is after midnight, and although the moon will be nearly half full, it is not expected to interfere with visibility. The Taurids originate from Comet Encke and are caused by debris left behind by the comet. Despite lower rates this year, there is always the possibility of surprises.
