Eleven headline showers light up the sky each year. Here's when each one peaks — and how good it is.
How to watch a meteor shower
Three things, no equipment.
Get away from city lights
Light pollution is the enemy. A dark rural sky can turn a handful of meteors into dozens.
Look up after midnight
Most showers are best between midnight and dawn, when your side of Earth turns to face the debris stream head-on.
Let your eyes adapt
Give your eyes 20 minutes in the dark and put the phone away. Then just watch — meteors can streak across any part of the sky.
Never miss a shower again
Get a push alert the evening a shower peaks over your city — and only when the sky is actually clear. Free.
