Today:
The first of two minor meteor showers peaks tonight, known as the Southern Taurid Meteor Shower, to distinguish it from the Northern Taurids next weekend. This meteor shower remains active from late September through early December, tossing 5 to 10 meteors per hour across the heavens, some blazing a path as brighter, more dramatic fireballs.
