The Taurid meteor showers are underway, with the Northern Taurids peaking Wednesday, Nov. 11. Each shower produces about five meteors an hour, but the slow-moving meteors can turn into awe-inducing fireballs. Viewing conditions look excellent for the Northern Taurids, and the show continues until about Nov. 20.
