People in Saskatchewan are talking about a fireball that streaked across Saskatchewan skies last night.
It was a Taurid meteor that lit things up and was visible from Saskatoon to the Weyburn area.
Skygazers say it's a particularly good year for the Taurids โ so named because they appear to come out of the Taurus constellation.
The meteor shower will continue for the next few days, but Saskatchewan skies are clouding over, so the golden opportunity may be over.
Meanwhile, as Sunday evening's meteor lit up the skies, it also lit things up on social media, with a variety of people tweeting about their sighting.
Among the lucky shutterbugs was Bill Allen, of the Ralph area near Weyburn, who captured a spectacular image of the fireball.
