Where they come from: Comet Encke (2P/Encke)
Dust from Comet Encke, which goes round the Sun every 3.3 years, the shortest of any bright comet. Its stream is old and spread wide, so the Taurids last for weeks and carry larger pieces than most: the 'Halloween fireballs'.
The estimate is how many you might really see from a dark spot here, allowing for
how high the shower climbs and for moonlight. "Under a perfect sky" is the best case.
The bar also counts the forecast cloud at the best time, so a clouded-out night sits at
the bottom, as does rain on the radar now.
Not many meteors, but known for bright fireballs.

Where they come from: Comet Encke (2P/Encke)
The other half of Comet Encke's wide, old stream: the same dust as the Southern Taurids, met a little later and from a little further north. Known, with them, for slow, bright fireballs.
The estimate is how many you might really see from a dark spot here, allowing for

The second half of the Taurids, peaking about a week after the Southern Taurids.

Where they come from: Halley's Comet (1P/Halley)
Dust shed by Halley's Comet, the same stream as May's Eta Aquariids. The comet itself last came round in 1986 and returns in 2061; its dust arrives every October.
The estimate is how many you might really see from a dark spot here, allowing for
how high the shower climbs and for moonlight. "Under a perfect sky" is the best case.

Also from Halley's Comet. Fast meteors that often leave glowing trails.

Halloween is the evening before All Saints' Day on November 1 - All Hallows' Eve. It draws on Samhain, the Gaelic festival at the end of the harvest that marked the start of winter, when the boundary with the world of the dead was thought to be thin.
The first jack-o'-lanterns in Ireland and Scotland were carved from turnips. In North America the pumpkin took their place.
