The Taurid meteor shower is not yet concluded, as one of its two streams is poised to peak this weekend.

During the peak activity of the Northern Taurids, a minor annual meteor shower, observers might witness the spectacle of bright meteors streaking across the night sky.

While the Southern Taurids reached their peak on November 5, the Northern Taurids are anticipated to reach their peak at approximately 7:21 p.m. ET on Sunday, as reported by EarthSky.

Both Taurid showers, originating from the parent comet Encke, typically exhibit low rates of around five meteors per hour, CNN reported.
