The Taurid meteor will make its annual appearance in the midnight sky starting Tuesday through Nov. 12, with the "shooting star" appearing best after in the early morning hours.

The Taurid meteors will appear to originate from the constellation of Taurus, hence their name, but they will be visible from anywhere in the night sky. Taurus will rise in the eastern sky around sunset, and will be overhead from about midnight onwards, which is when viewing will be most ideal.
