The Moon is just three days past full, so it will be right in the middle of the action, drowning out all but the brightest meteors.
Name Date of Peak Moon
Quadrantids Night of January 3 Rises after midnight
Lyrids Night of April 21 Full moon
Eta Aquarids Night of May 4 New Moon
Perseids Night of August 11 Sets after midnight
Orionids Night of October 21 Sets after midnight
Leonids Night of November 16 Just past full
Geminids Night of December 13 Full Moon
NOTES These are approximate times for the Lower 48 states; actual shower times can vary. Bright moonlight makes it difficult to see all but the brightest meteors.
