Taurid Meteor Shower

I think what I saw on Monday night was a meteor from the Taurid meteor shower. The object streaked across the sky with a bright yellow tail and then blew up. It was really cool to watch

Those are awesome, like a flaming chariot. It's been a good season.
Caught a few bright ones here also, maybe even a fireball or two.

Nice! It’s got me wanting to start stargazing more.
Seeing it disintegrate with a quiet poof ignited my curiosity.

@PrestonJ Aren't those awesome?!. seen a few.
This Fall, one passed slow enough to track over the roof tops; then softly faded away like a willow-the-wisp.

The Taurids are on till mid December, happy stargazing!

@SethGreene531 thanks for the heads up. I’m going to look for some places to watch
