What is the Northern Taurid meteor shower?
The Southern Taurids, which are first to arrive each year, are associated with a field of debris left behind Comet Encke.
The Northern Taurids, on the other hand, are a bit of a mystery as astronomers have linked this shower to Encke as well as the Asteroid 2004 TG10.
Whatever the case may be, the Northern Taurids appear to crash into our atmosphere from the constellation Taurus, which this time of the year rises in the eastern skies.
According to the Royal Observatory Greenwich in London, the Taurids are a relatively slower shower, moving across the sky at about 65,000mph.
