- The Taurids is an annual meteor shower, associated with comet Encke. The Taurids are actually two separate showers, Southern and Northern. The Southern Taurids come from Comet Encke, while the Northern Taurids come from the asteroid 2004 TG, possibly a large fragment of Encke. The meteor shower gets it’s name from the radiant point in the constellation Taurus. Because they happen in late October and early November, they are also called Halloween fireballs. Since such a short period comet, the meteors have the slowest impact speed of the annual well-known meteor showers.
- Typically, Taurids appear at a rate of about 5m per hour, moving slowly across the sky at about. If meteors are larger than a pebble, these meteors may become bolides as bright as the Moon and leave behind smoke trails.
