Fireballs Possible As Meteor Shower Peaks Wed. & Thur. NIghts
Large and bright meteors known as
fireballs may be visible this week, weather-permitting, as the North
Taurid Meteor Shower peaks Wednesday and Thursday nights. Several
fireballs have been observed this-past week, following the November 5
peak of the South Taurid Meteor Shower, and the north stream of the
Taurids may be just as eventful.
