Is Southern Taurids Fireball Season happening right now?
As of today, out of season, returns ~September. Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.
The Southern Taurids are part of the long-duration Taurid meteor complex, producing slow-moving meteors and an above-average fraction of bright fireballs.
Activity spans many weeks each autumn, with occasional years of heightened fireball rates when Earth encounters a dense, Jupiter-resonant swarm of debris.
