Those who missed last week’s Southern Taurids meteor shower have another chance to watch a fireball blaze across the sky, as the Northern Taurids reach their peak.

With dark skies expected after Monday’s new moon, the best time to view the meteor shower will be Wednesday night into early Thursday morning. Meteors will show as a few seconds of flashing light.
