Taurid meteor shower season.



Souce


This year 2025 is a swarm year, tonight or from November 5 to 6, if you see a glow in the sky, it is very possible that it is one of the Taurids, southern Taurids, the northern ones are differentiated because there are two flows and one is approximately within a week or 10 days, within 10 days it would be the maximum of the second flow that would be northern taurids, the southern taurids are the ones that touch now.


You could see between 10 to 15 meteors per hour, despite having the full moon so huge that it will dazzle the faintest meteors, despite that you could see 10 to 15 meteors per hour and you may be lucky to see some very bright ones because we are in a swarm year.


These shooting stars also go quite slowly, relatively slow, taking into account how these meteors fall, these shooting stars, these in particular are slow, 28 km per second and this means that they leave very long trails, which is why they are also more attractive.




The best time to see them will be from midnight, this midnight and until 4 in the morning, the best time being from 1 in the morning until 3 in the morning.


You have to look for the constellation of Taurus, if you do not have an astral chart on hand or constellations on hand, you have an easy trick, you can locate the Pleiades, the Pleiades or the seven sisters are a set of bright stars that are also quite close together and it is a very characteristic group and easy to locate in the sky, so the beaches are also in Taurus and they are also next to where the radiant is produced, that is, where these appear to come from. meteors.


The Taurids themselves last several weeks, they are appreciated for 15 days, what happens is that, at this time, the 6th and 1st of November, in the early mornings, is the maximum, that does not mean that the day after tomorrow night there will be no Taurids or yesterday there are no Taurids, and that does not mean that one of those powerful racing cars will not appear, the normal thing is that the shooting stars are the size of grains of sand to a coin, that is the normal size of the shooting stars, but sometimes they are much larger and produce spectacles.


Keep in mind that meteor showers occur when the Earth passes through the trail of remains that a comet normally leaves behind. There are some cases where it is an asteroid, but usually a comet. The fragments are normally the size of a grain of sand to approximately a coin and sometimes they are larger and produce those fireballs, those flashes of light and explosions and they can also produce more serious things.
