6 months agoTaurid meteor shower to light up the night sky. Here's how you can see it
"The North and South Taurids are meteor showers that come from the breakup of a large comet about 10,000 years ago," says Bill Cooke, head of NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office. "They can be very bright, which is why they are often called 'fireballs,' and can be seen during September, October, and November. 2024 is a normal year for the Taurids, so rates will be very low, less than 5 meteors per hour."
