(Possible) Taurid Fireballs
This year, a waning crescent moon shouldn't interfere with the show. The Taurid meteor shower, which includes both Southern and Northern Taurids, is known for its long duration, typically lasting from September 28 to December 2, but it generally offers only about five meteors pe.

This year, a waning crescent moon shouldn't interfere with the show. The Taurid meteor shower, which includes both Southern and Northern Taurids, is known for its long duration, typically lasting from September 28 to December 2, but it generally offers only about five meteors per hour even at its peak. The Taurids are notable for a high percentage of fireballs, or exceptionally bright meteors.The American Meteor Society pointed to “a seven-year periodicity” with Taurid fireballs. 2008 and 2015 both produced them. 2022 did as well. Fingers crossed for 2029? The best viewing times for the Taurids are typically around midnight, when the constellation Taurus is highest in the sky. The Taurids are unusual in having two separate streams: one produced by debris from Asteroid 2004 TG10 and the other from Comet 2P Encke.
