Hello,

Also, Taurid may produce fireballs (7% chance over the usual 1% chance) over the next few nights, its expected to be a swarm rather than a shower. (look to Pleiades)

So, could be a few good nights ahead for star gazing...

Resulted in about 300 flights being delayed due to concerns over

region of Catalonia :-
