An annual meteor shower known for its fast movement and explosions of color that persist longer than average will peak this weekend, though experts say the shower’s peak won’t reach a maximum until just before the next century.

While the Southern Taurids already hit their peak last week, the Northern Taurids, active Oct. 13-Dec. 2 will be at their best Monday and Tuesday.

In Australia, the Leonid meteor shower will reach peak visibility on the night of November 17, radiating from the constellation of Leo and producing about 15 meteors per hour. The meteors are produced by dust grains left behind by Comet Tempel-Tuttle and the best viewing time should be in the early hours of the morning, just after midnight.

Another astronomical event could be visible in the coming nights as the second branch of the Taurid meteor shower reaches its peak.

Fireball activity is expected to peak Monday and Tuesday night as Earth passes through a stream of comet debris.

The meteor showers will reach their zenith early Tuesday morning and come just a week after the Southern Taurids peaked. The sister showers only produce around five visible meteors per hour under ideal viewing conditions.
