Rihanna John “Halloween fireballs” Will Flame In Sky During November
Also, the comet fragments travel at lower speeds than other meteors as they go through the Earth's upper atmosphere, reaching velocities of just around 17 miles per second. Nasa Scientists are saying that this year, the shower will be even fancier as this year there are possibility of fireballs tearing through the sky.
Cosmic fireballs will occasionally light up the night sky as the Taurid meteor shower approaches its peak into next week, according to a new report from meteorologists at the private weather forecasting company AccuWeather Inc. But, as per them, the Taurids are going to be the most active in the Nov 5 - Nov 12 week. They don't wow you with sheer numbers, but they can take the form of spectacular, long-lasting fireballs burning through the night sky. It occurs when Earth crosses the orbital path of Comet Tempel-Tuttle, which, like all comets, litters its orbit with bits of debris.
The Taurid meteor shower has become significantly fascinating because researchers now suspect that the particle trail may not only be originating from Comet Encke, but possibly from the breakup of a much larger comet, which left Encke and other debris in its wake.
For those who want to spot these incredible fireballs, NASA suggests that the best viewing time is after midnight where the nights get clear from light pollution and there is no existing moonlight that will overwhelm the fireballs' dance. Meteor Showers are not always easy to spot.
Because these meteor streams lie along an elliptical orbit around the sun, when we watch them, they appear to come from a particular part of the sky, in this case the constellation Taurus, and hence are named the Taurids.
Halloween may be over, but the "Halloween fireballs" aren't done yet.
The reason this year's display is set to be so dazzling is because Earth will encounter a portion of the stream with pieces of debris that are larger than usual. This is the year for that to happen!
"New Moon - Its turn will be on November 22, 2015". Environment Canada also predicted cloudy skies throughout the region beginning overnight November 3.
So, where do you look for these shooting stars? Find Orion in the southern sky.
Radiating from the Taurus constellation, the "shooting stars" are expected to be seen anywhere in the sky.
