USA Today reported that the Taurid meteor shower is back for a visit! You can see them anytime this month, but prime time viewing is from Thursday, November 5th - Thursday, November 12th. Get away from the city lights for an hour or so and you could catch a glimpse of two - 10 meteors burning bright through the night sky!

American Meteor Society said the "Taurids are not known for their high numbers, rather they are known more for the fireballs they produce." And there isn't a full moon this time of year to hog the spotlight. These fireballs will be able to shine uninterrupted!

NASA says the peak viewing hours are after midnight because that's when the Taurus the Bull constellation is positioned highest in the sky, and the sky is darkest and clear to see even the weakest meteors.

So grab your loved ones and head out to a dark and quiet place to see these shooting stars fly over the Southcoast. Don't forget to make a wish!

If you can't make it out this week, you'll have another chance around November 17th when the Leonid meteor shower makes its rounds over the region. Good luck!
