Northern Taurid meteor shower: Where and when to see the peak

CNN  

Sign up for CNN’s Wonder Theory science newsletter. The Northern Taurids have been active since mid-October, but the shower will peak Monday night into Tuesday — with optimal visibility likely occurring after midnight — offering patient sky-gazers the best opportunity to view meteor activity, according to NASA. However, the moon will be about 79% full when the Northern Taurids peak this week, according to the American Meteor Society, which could make spotting meteors earlier in the evening more challenging. Although the Northern Taurid event produces fewer meteors than other major showers — only about five per hour — it still offers something special: the chance to see increased fireball activity. Here are peak dates for upcoming meteor showers, according to the American Meteor Society: Leonids: November 16-17 Geminids: December 12-13 Ursids: December 21-22 Two full moons also remain — the beaver moon, which is a supermoon, on November 15 and the cold moon on December 15, according to the Farmers’ Almanac.
