Clear sky tonight means you could see “fireball” meteors, despite full moon

The skies over Colorado are supposed to be clear starting Monday afternoon and extending into the night, and that means you just might get to see a “fireball” from the Northern Taurid meteor shower as it reaches its annual peak overnight. A fireball over the east coast Sunday night was reported by 33 observers, concentrated in Virginia, Maryland and the greater New York City area. Just what are fireballs, you ask? “Fireballs are meteors that appear brighter than normal,” according to a post on the International Meteor Organization’s website.
