This week is the perfect time to watch the debris from an ancient space catastrophe rain down on Earth’s atmosphere.
Two meteor showers, both streams of debris from the same massive object that broke apart 20,000 years ago, are happening at the same time this week. The Northern and Southern Taurid meteor showers are both approaching their peaks, and thanks to a narrow crescent Moon, this week offers the best chance to see them both. Inverse has everything you need to know about the 2024 Taurids.
