Taurid Fireball - Right Framing and Right Timing

This photo was taken earlier at 3:47 am by Paul Jacalan at Nueva Ecija. He was observing the Leonid Meteor Shower while taking photos of the night sky but this taurid fireball stole the show! 1/3

++ How many meteors were you able to see last night? Share it with us in the reply or retweet us!

Stay safe and keep looking up, PASers!

Clear skies!

[Philippine Astronomical Society @philastrosoc]

Like even though the peak of Northern Taurids was around November 12 and the Leonids’ peak was last night, we can still see meteors from both showers until the end of November. Expect to see significantly less meteors several days before or after the peak, though. 3/3
