The North and South Taurids occur every year in September, October, and November. They may have originated from a comet that broke up about 10,000 years ago.

While the Southern Taurids already hit their peak last week, the Northern Taurids, active Oct. 13-Dec. 2 will be at their best Monday and Tuesday.

The Taurid meteor showers offer a yearly spectacle, making November a special month for both amateur stargazers and seasoned astronomers. With bright fireballs crossing the sky, the North Taurid Peak is a celestial event that captures the imagination and lights up the night sky.
