When and where to look to see the North Taurid meteor shower tonight


(CNN) -- If you missed the peak of South Taurids last week, the North Taurid meteor shower will shine this Thursday and Friday, potentially producing a few of its signature fireballs. The peaks aren't as eventful and defined as some other meteor showers, such as the Perseids in August, according to EarthSky. North Taurid meteor showers produce about five visible meteors per hour at a relatively slow speed. Debris from the Comet 2P/Encke produces both North and South Taurid showers, according to EarthSky. The meteor shower will be sporadic, so grab a lawn chair and plan on sitting outside for a while.
