Meteor shower
Southern Taurids
A minor shower: a few shooting stars an hour at best. The Moon won't get in the way much.
Peak night
UnlikelyNov 4
Night of Wednesday; best after midnight
Look up, anywhere in the sky
Up to 7 an hour from a very dark place. Expect far fewer from a city.
How to watch
- Get away from city lights if you can.
- Lie back and look up. Give your eyes 20 minutes to adjust.
- Be patient: they come in bursts.
