Taurid Meteor Shower

Stargazers should be on the lookout for meteorites and fireballs crossing the night skies from 5 - 12 November 2015, as the annual Taurid meteor shower will be at its peak during this time.

The American Meteor Society says that this week, especially, the cosmic fireballs set to shoot past the Earth will be one of the Universe's most dramatic meteor displays.

Stargazers can expect two distinct peaks of activity - for the southern Taurids shower the peak period has been outlined between 5 and 12 November, while for the Northern Taurids Shower spikes in activity can be seen until the end of November.
