This New Moon Is the Perfect Backdrop to the Tails of Taurid Meteor Shower

This week will have the perfect conditions to see the famous Taurid Meteor Shower which is known for their blazing bright tails as the shoot through the night sky. With the new moon producing little to no light pollution, these meteors will be easier to see.

The meteors emanate from the constellation of Taurus, located just northeast of Orion. 

This meteor shower produces around 8-12 shooting stars per hour.
