Peak: November 7, 1926, around 03:00 UTC — up to about 5 meteors an hour under a dark sky. The Moon will be 2% lit: a dark sky: a good year for the Taurids. 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. Peak times and rates: the International Meteor Organization's working list.
