Get Ready for the Spectacular 2024 Meteor Showers

2024 Meteor Showers

In 2024 Meteor Showers come and go, so the question people always ask, what is the next one.  Here is the list that I am tracking:

2024

  • Delta Aquariids (July 29/30)
  • Alpha Capricornids (July 27-28)
  • Perseids just before mid-August (August 12/13)
  • Orionids (max: October 21/22)
  • Taurids (max: October 18 & November 5 for S. Taurids, November 12 for N. Taurids)
  • Leonids of mid-November (max: November 17-19)
  • Geminids of mid-December (max: December 13/14)

2025

  • A meteor shower kicks off 2025 just days after millions have rung in the new year. The Quadrantids meteor shower, considered among the top annual meteor showers, peaks between Jan. 3 and Jan. 4. During peak activity and under favorable conditions, these showers can produce about 120 shooting stars per hour.
  • Lyrids past mid-April (max: April 22/23)
  • Eta Aquariids (max: May 7/8)
