While the Southern Taurids already hit their peak last week, the Northern Taurids, active Oct. 13-Dec. 2 will be at their best Monday and Tuesday.

THE Taurid meteor shower is set to peak tonight, casting “slow and bright” shooting stars across the sky. These fireballs, which originate from the constellation Taurus, will be around

November brings sky watchers brilliant views, with the Northern Taurids and Leonid meteor showers peaking this week and a full supermoon in between.

Leonid meteors are a few years away from producing a storm that dazzles viewers once every 33 years, but they could still put on a show this weekend.

Although the Leonids are one of the most famous of all the annual meteor displays we certainly would not advertise them as a major shower this year.

It's a treat to see a supermoon. But that bright glowing orb will still be almost full when the Leonid meteor shower peaks this weekend.

The Leonid meteor shower will light up skies above the UK this weekend, offering stargazers a celestial display.

There’s a strong chance you will be able to see the Leonid meteor shower from Birmingham and the West Midlands this weekend or early next week.
