Every year from late September through early December, night sky observers will note a concentration of meteors that appear to radiate out from a point in the sky near the constellation Taurus. These Taurid meteors are the result of Earth sweeping up dust particles,

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.
