We just added a new feature on the IMO Online Shower Calendar: a 3D animated view of the meteoroid streams the Earth will encounter all along its journey around the Sun. This model was created by Ian Webster, and will appear for the currently active major meteor shower or the next one to come. A 3D experience is the better way to understand the journey of the meteoroids that will appear during the night and that will be the source of what we enjoy most: meteor showers! Enjoy!

When the two showers are active simultaneously in late October and early November, there is sometimes an notable increase in the fireball activity. There seems to be a seven year periodicity with these fireballs. 2008…
Peak Night: Nov 12 2024.
