☄️ ☄️ 2025 is intended to be "Taurid swarm" year, and it seems Southern Taurids are actually quite active! Don't hesitate to watch despite the Moon: Taurids are brighte, and the Earth could enter a part of the meteoroid stream denser as usual, as particles entered a 7:2 motion resonance with Jupiter.
