The Taurids are part of the meteoroid stream complex associated with Comet 2P/Encke. Studies by David Asher have indicated that increased Taurid fireball rates may result from a “swarm” of larger particles within the Taurid complex, and he suggested such “swarm” return might possibly occur in 2008, albeit rather uncertain. The most recent swarm encounter, in 2005, produced a lot of very brilliant fireballs and enhanced ZHRs of ~10-15, that persisted from about October 29 to November 10. Observations of the Taurids are highly encouraged and results of visual work are made available in automated ZHR-graphs.

Next major shower peak
Southern Taurids
The Southern Taurids are a long-lasting shower with two weak maximums in mid-October and early November. The November maximum is most noticeable during fireball swarm years (2025, 2032) The shower is active for more than two months but rarely produces more than five shower members per hour, even at maximum…
Peak Night: Nov 05 2025.
