🌠 Look Up Tonight — The Southern Taurids Meteor Shower Peaks!

Get ready for a dazzling display across the night sky! 🌌 The Southern Taurids Meteor Shower will be at its peak tonight and tomorrow, offering one of autumn’s most mesmerizing celestial shows.

✨ Known for its slow, bright fireballs, the Taurids are often called the “Halloween fireballs” because of their vivid orange glow and leisurely pace — giving you extra time to admire each streak of light.

🌍 What’s Happening:
The Taurids originate from debris left behind by Comet Encke. As Earth passes through this trail of cosmic dust, tiny particles burn up in our atmosphere, creating bright meteors that light up the sky.

📍 Best Viewing Tips:

Head to a dark, open area away from city lights 🌲

Let your eyes adjust to the darkness for at least 20 minutes 👀

No telescope needed — just look up and enjoy the natural light show!

💫 You might see up to 10 meteors per hour, and the occasional fireball will make it truly unforgettable.

🌌 Don’t miss one of the most beautiful sky spectacles of the season — nature’s own fireworks show!

Plantain just appeared in my garden! I found it after cleaning out the tomatillos that were not impressed by the first frost. What a gift to find it here in organic soil instead of in the playground fields where there spray all those terrible chemicals. I hope it goes to seed before winter really comes.
