Southern Taurid Meteor Shower Peaks November 4-5, 2026 with Bright Fireballs Expected
The Southern Taurid meteor shower will peak overnight on November 4-5, 2026, with observers in India seeing it around midnight on November 6 due to time zone differences. This meteor shower is known for slow-moving meteors and occasional bright fireballs, which can outshine planets like Venus. Active from September 20 to November 20, the Taurids originate from debris of Comet 2P Encke. The Northern Taurids are expected to peak later, on November 11-12, offering additional viewing opportunities.
