The Southern Taurids peaked last week, with sightings of fireballs lasting throughout the first week of November, but it’s not over yet. The Taurid meteor shower is composed of two streams, and the Northern Taurids are predicted to peak on Saturday, according to EarthSky.
There has been a lot of fireballs already.” Origin of the Taurids The Taurids radiate from the direction of the Taurus constellation, although it’s best not to look in that area since the meteors’ trails last for the shortest period then. Fireballs will be seen all over the sky, and they won’t be disturbed by the waning of the bright November 8 full moon either since they can outshine most elements of the night sky.
