I know Kevin just posted some astronomy info, but here’s some more. Earth is entering a stream of debris from Comet 2P/Encke, and this is causing the annual Taurid Meteor Shower. The shower will lastfrom Nov. 5th through 12th. At most, only about 5 Taurids per hour streak across the sky, but what they lack in number they make up for in dazzle. Taurid meteors tend to be fireballs, very bright and slow. Look for them falling out of the constellation Taurus during the hours around midnight.
