If the skies are clear these next few nights, take a few moments to look up. You just might be lucky and catch a glimpse of a spectacularly bright meteor — a Taurid meteor streaking across the sky.
While most meteor shower displays last about a week, the Taurids have perhaps the longest duration of overall visibility. Meteors from this particular stream begin appearing in mid-October and continue into right on mid-November. Nov. 5 through Nov. 12 is traditionally the time frame when these slow and majestic meteors are at their best.
