When to watch: The best time to watch the Draconids in 2024 is the evening of October 7 through the wee hours of the morning on October 8. The waxing crescent moon (27% illuminated) will set before 9 p.m. your local time. So you can watch for meteors in a moonless sky. Overall d...

Predicted peak: is predicted** for December 13, 2024, at 21:00 UTC. When to watch: Since the radiant rises in mid-evening, you can watch for Geminids all night around the peak dates of December 13. However, an almost full moon will compete with the Geminids in 2024. Luckily, a lot of Geminid meteors are bright. Find a way to block out the bright mo...

Nearest moon phase: A last quarter moo...
When to watch: The best night for the 2024 Quadrantids is January 2-3. (The predicted peak** is 19 UTC on January 3). Nearest moon phase: A first quarter moon will come at 23:56 UTC on January 6, 2025 (CST) so the moon will be a waxing crescent and set late on January 2 and not interfere with the Quadrantid meteors. Radiant: Rises in the north-nort...

The peak of the Lyrids is narrow (no weeks-long stretches of meteor-watching, as with some showers). In 2025, the last quarter moon falls at 1:36 UTC on April 21. So meteor watching will be impacted by a thick waning crescent m...
