Meteor Shower Calendar 2017

We recommend you read the introduction to meteor showers.

The information shown in the tables below comes from publications by the International Meteor Organization. Each table marks the days the meteor shower will be active while clearly highlighting the peak day. The IAU Meteor Data Center enumerates about 700 meteor showers that occur every year, being only 100 of these well-established meteor showers. In this calendar we show only a subset of the well-established meteor showers whose Zenithal Hourly Rate(ZHR) is high enough to be considered relevant.
