November 2024 is set to be an exciting month for stargazers, with several meteor showers peaking and offering a spectacular display of shooting stars and bright fireballs. The month will feature the Orionid, Leonid, and Taurid meteor showers, each providing a unique celestial show1.
The Orionid meteor shower, associated with Halley’s Comet, will continue to be active throughout November, although it peaked in late October. The Leonid meteor shower, known for its high meteor rates, will reach its peak on the night of November 16-172. The Northern and Southern Taurid meteor showers, famous for their bright fireballs, will peak on November 12 and November 5, respectively.
Observers are advised to find a dark location away from city lights for the best viewing experience. The moon phase will play a significant role in visibility, with the Southern Taurids peaking just after a new moon, providing dark skies, while the Northern Taurids and Leonids will peak near a full moon, which may interfere with visibility3.
