The new Animal Crossing: New Horizons has a special star that only appears during a certain time of year. This guide will help players locate it and explain what it does. Animal Crossing: New Horizons specializes in timed exclusive events, even during the week. Certain characters only appear during a very specific time of the day like Daisy Mae. Daisy Mae visits the island only on Sunday to sell the player Turnips. Although, some characters appear completely at random with no rhyme or reason. The game prides itself on its players returning back every day to make sure they don't miss any in-game events. One of the in-game events involves a meteor shower and this guide will provide tips on how they can get the Taurus Fragment in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

Shooting stars appear on the player's island after Isabelle notifies the player that it will occur when the player boots up the game. When nightfall arrives on the island, players can interact and wish on a shooting star by pressing the A button. Not only does this give the chance for the player to have his imaginary wish come true, but there are certain Nook Miles requirements for wishing on shooting stars. Wishing on shooting stars is also essential for getting the Taurus Fragment. Here's what the Taurus Fragment does and how to collect it.

The Taurus Fragment relates to the Zodiac, meaning it is one of 12 different Fragments that will appear on the island throughout the year. The Taurus Fragment appears specifically from April 20th to May 20th. During this time a meteor shower will occur. After the meteor shower happens, the Taurus Fragment will appear on the beach the very next day for players to collect. This fragment can be used to create exclusive zodiac-themed furniture. With two of the Taurus Fragment, the player can craft the Taurus Bathtub with 3 Star Fragments, 1 Gold Nugget, and 8 Stone. This is a fairly rare item for players to find.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is best-experienced day-by-day. Even if the player only logs in each day for 10 minutes at a time, they can complete so much work for their island. Certain timed events are difficult, especially for players who work or have other responsibilities. It is not a bad idea to change the system settings to be able to experience these events. It's important for the overall Animal Crossing: New Horizons experience to be able to see everything the game has to offer. There are 11 more events that happen throughout the year. Make the attempt to collect all the special zodiac furniture.
