The best time to see Taurid Meteor Shower in 2027 is November 4-5, 2027. Timing status: Predicted dates.
Few meteors, but some of the year's brightest fireballs.
The Taurids, shed by comet 2P/Encke, are sparse but deliver slow, dazzling fireballs through late October and early November. Low rates mean patience, but a single Taurid fireball can light up the whole sky.
Moon at the peak: waxing crescent, 35% lit (excellent). A thin moon means minimal wash-out: dark skies for all but the faintest streaks.
