GoKawiilNASA-style skywatching guide highlights September's meteor showers and moon pairings
Skywatchers can catch two minor meteor showers in September: the Aurigids, peaking September 1 and fueled by comet C/1911 N1 Kiess, and the Southern Taurids, which begin September 20 and run through November, driven by comet 2P/Encke. Both are best viewed by locating their radiant constellations—Auriga and Taurus—though neither shower produces a heavy meteor count this early in its cycle.
