Southern Taurid meteor shower 2021
Visible In India? :
The Southern Taurid meteor shower will be active from 10 September to 20 November, producing its peak rate of meteors around 10 October.
Over this period, there will be a chance of seeing Southern Taurid meteors whenever the shower’s radiant point – in the constellation Cetus – is above the horizon, with the number of visible meteors increasing the higher the radiant point is in the sky.
At its peak, the shower is expected to produce a nominal rate of around 5 meteors per hour (ZHR).
The shower is expected to reach peak activity at around 15:00 IST on 10 October 2021, and so the best displays might be seen after the radiant rises on 10 October.
