The Moon is new at 7:02 UTC on November 9, 2026, so no moonlight washes out the sky for the Taurid meteor showers. The South Taurids have a predicted peak of 19 UTC on November 5 and the North Taurids a predicted peak of 18 UTC on November 12, so both showers are active this week.
When the two overlap, they produce about 10 meteors per hour under dark skies. The Taurids are known for fireballs, meteors much brighter than usual, though in most years only about one percent of Taurid meteors are fireballs. Check the Moon phase today to see how much moonlight to expect on any night this week.
