Stargazing: Taurids Meteor Shower

written by John Mueller | September 24, 2021

The Taurids is a meteor shower that produces 5-10 meteors per hour.

This meteor shower is unique to view because it is made up of two separate streams rather than one. The first stream is produced by dust grains (left behind by Asteroid 2004 TG10). The second stream consists of debris left behind by Comet 2P Encke.

It will be another good meteor shower to via in the early evening as it is happening on a new moon.
