The Taurid meteor shower, renowned for its potential fireballs, coincides with a waning full moon, enhancing visibility for observers during the darkest hours of the night.
Scientists speculate on the possibility of larger celestial bodies within the Taurid streams, raising concerns about their potential to collide with Earth and cause catastrophic events.
Comet Encke, the parent of the Taurid meteors, sheds dust and larger chunks, resulting in both shooting stars and explosive fireballs when entering Earth's atmosphere.
Amid scientific inquiry, the distinction between legitimate research on meteoric hazards and pseudoscience is crucial as we address the risks posed by asteroid impacts.
