Look Up: Catching the Taurid Meteor Shower

Plus, the new moon on November 9 means the darkest skies of the month will be lining up with the Taurid shower. The Taurids don’t put on a constant show, so you’ll need a little patience to capture the magic. Give it some time, and you might catch a fireball drifting across the New Jersey sky.

Kodak stopped making it in 2009 and the last roll was developed in 2010, so there won’t be any more of those. So let’s talk about what you’ve got and what to do with it.

Read on for what’s in that box, how to keep it safe, and how to share it with your family this season.
