2025 Taurids Meteor Shower | Super Bright Fireballs
Every year from September to November, the Earth passes through a broad stream of debris left by Comet Encke. The dust associated with the comet hits the Earth’s atmosphere at 65,000 mph and burns up, creating the Taurid meteor shower. Most years the shower is weak, and only a few Taurid meteors can be seen each night. In other years, the Taurids can put on a show.
The Taurids meteor shower is a long-lasting shower comprising two separate events. The North and South Taurids combine to provide a nice sprinkling of meteors throughout October and November.
In 2025, the South Taurid shower happens from September 10 to November 20, 2025, with an expected peak on November 5 with peak viewing around 5 am PST. The North Taurids are active from about October 20 to December 10, with an anticipated peak on November 12, 2024 at 4 am PST.
Keep watching through the month of November because you could spot fireballs at any time.
