Northern Taurid meteor shower peaks tomorrow: Check NASA's viewing tips

SMRTR summary

The Northern Taurids meteor shower will peak around November 11-12, offering a dazzling display for viewers in the northern hemisphere. Though producing only 5-10 meteors per hour, the Taurids are known for bright fireballs from Comet Encke's debris. Viewing may be slightly affected by the Moon's 84% brightness. For best results, find a dark spot, allow eyes to adjust, and look toward the constellation Taurus near midnight. The Southern Taurids peaked earlier on November 5 with more favorable viewing conditions.
