TAURID METEOR SHOWER: Earth is entering a stream of debris from periodic Comet 2P/Encke, and this is causing the annual Taurid meteor shower. The shower has a broad maximum lasting from Nov. 5th through 12th. At most, only about 5 Taurids per hour streak across the sky, but what they lack in number they make up for in dazzle. Taurid meteors tend to be fireballs, very bright and slow. Look for them falling out of the constellation Taurus during the hours around midnight.
They should appear from the southeast of the moon's location... |

On the way back form the office today I saw 3 lights come right near the ground. Pretty awesome, I was thinking it must be some-kind of meteor shower.
Between my office in Temecula and Rancho Bernardo there are some dark hilly areas on the freeway drive, a great sight! |
