November Night Sky

The November night sky is a busy place.  The Taurid meteor shower is active during the months of October thru November.   

As the earth passes through the debris of comet Encke the Taurids are better known for their brightness rather than their volume.  Peak viewing should be the evenings of November 11 and 12.

The light cast by the Beaver moon will wash-out some of the shooting stars during the predicted peak; nevertheless, they are called fireballs so many of them will be capable of burning through the moonlight.
