The Taurid meteor shower will be visible in the night sky for the next week for the phenomenon's annual appearance. Earth passes through the debris left behind by comets every fall from September to November and the meteor shower was expected to be most visible beginning early Tuesday through Nov. 12. The phenomenon gets its name from the path it travels across the sky from the c
