Peak: November 6, 1900, around 11:00 UTC — up to about 5 meteors an hour under a dark sky. The Moon will be 100% lit: a bright Moon, which will wash out all but the brightest meteors. Meteors seem to come from Taurus; the debris is from Comet Encke. Few but slow and bright, known for fireballs — the Southern and Northern Taurids together.
