The week of November 4-10, 2024, offers celestial highlights for sky-watchers, starting with the Southern Taurid meteor shower, which peaks around midnight on November 4-5. These meteors, known for their bright fireball displays, are remnants of dust and debris from Comet 2P/Encke.

Observers will also witness the waxing crescent moon in conjunction with Venus over three consecutive evenings. Stargazers should check times for moonrise and the planet's visibility for optimal viewing conditions.
