Comet Encke is the parent comet of the Taurid meteor stream.  The Taurid meteor shower occurs annually from September to November.  The Earth passes through a broad stream of debris left by Comet Encke. The dust associated with the comet hits the Earth’s atmosphere at 65,000 mph and burns up, creating the Taurid meteor shower. 

The Taurid meteor shower peaks in late October. The fireballs are often seen on or around Halloween, which is why they are also called Halloween fireballs. 

To increase the probability of spotting the meteors, you can: 

• Look to the Taurus constellation after midnight 
• Find a dark place on a cloudless night 

The Taurid meteor shower is visible during the period of October 26 to November 16.
