CREATED:20150313T110900Z
DESCRIPTION: The Lyrids is an average shower\, usually producing about 20 m
eteors per hour at its peak. It is produced by dust particles left behind b
y comet C/1861 G1 Thatcher\, which was discovered in 1861. The shower runs
annually from April 16-25. It peaks this year on the night of the night of
the 22nd and morning of the 23rd. These meteors can sometimes produce brigh
t dust trails that last for several seconds. The first quarter moon will s
et shortly after midnight\, leaving fairly dark skies for the what could be
a good show. Best viewing will be from a dark location after midnight. Met
eors will radiate from the constellation Lyra\, but can appear anywhere in
the sky. (copyright: http://www.seasky.org)

CREATED:20150313T110907Z
DESCRIPTION: The Quadrantids is an above average shower\, with up to 40 met
eors per hour at its peak. It is thought to be produced by dust grains left
behind by an extinct comet known as 2003 EH1\, which was discovered in 200
3. The shower runs annually from January 1-5. It peaks this year on the nig
ht of the 3rd and morning of the 4th. This year the nearly full moon will
block out most of the fainter meteors. But if you are patient you may still
be able to catch a few good ones. Best viewing will be from a dark locatio
n after midnight. Meteors will radiate from the constellation Bootes\, but
can appear anywhere in the sky. (copyright: http://www.seasky.org)

DESCRIPTION: The Quadrantids is an above average shower\, with up to 40 met
eors per hour at its peak. It is thought to be produced by dust grains left
behind by an extinct comet known as 2003 EH1\, which was discovered in 200
3. The shower runs annually from January 1-5. It peaks this year on the nig
ht of the 3rd and morning of the 4th. Unfortunately the nearly full moon
will block out all but the brightest meteors this year. Best viewing will b
e from a dark location after midnight. Meteors will radiate from the conste
llation Bootes\, but can appear anywhere in the sky. (copyright: http://www

DESCRIPTION: The Perseids is one of the best meteor showers to observe\, pr
oducing up to 60 meteors per hour at its peak. It is produced by comet Swif
t-Tuttle\, which was discovered in 1862. The Perseids are famous for produc
ing a large number of bright meteors. The shower runs annually from July 17
to August 24. It peaks this year on the night of August 12 and the morning
of August 13. The waning gibbous moon will block out many of the fainter m
eteors this year\, but the Perseids are so bright and numerous that it shou
ld still be a good show. Best viewing will be from a dark location after mi
dnight. Meteors will radiate from the constellation Perseus\, but can appea
r anywhere in the sky. (copyright: http://www.seasky.org)

DESCRIPTION: The Leonids is an average shower\, producing up to 15 meteors
per hour at its peak. This shower is unique in that it has a cyclonic peak
about every 33 years where hundreds of meteors per hour can be seen. That l
ast of these occurred in 2001. The Leonids is produced by dust grains left
behind by comet Tempel-Tuttle\, which was discovered in 1865. The shower ru
ns annually from November 6-30. It peaks this year on the night of the 17th
and morning of the 18th. The waning gibbous moon will block many of the fa
inter meteors this year\, but if you are patient you should be able to catc
h quite a few good ones. Best viewing will be from a dark location after mi
dnight. Meteors will radiate from the constellation Leo\, but can appear an
ywhere in the sky. (copyright: http://www.seasky.org)

CREATED:20150313T110901Z
DESCRIPTION: The Geminids is the king of the meteor showers. It is conside
red by many to be the best shower in the heavens\, producing up to 120 mult
icolored meteors per hour at its peak. It is produced by debris left behind
by an asteroid known as 3200 Phaethon\, which was discovered in 1982. The
shower runs annually from December 7-17. It peaks this year on the night of
the 13th and morning of the 14th. The nearly full moon will block out many
of the fainter meteors this year\, but the Geminids are so bright and nume
rous that it could still be a good show. Best viewing will be from a dark l
ocation after midnight. Meteors will radiate from the constellation Gemini\
, but can appear anywhere in the sky. (copyright: http://www.seasky.org)

DESCRIPTION: The Moon will be located on the opposite side of the Earth as
the Sun and its face will be will be fully illuminated. This phase occurs a
t 12:02 UTC. This full moon was known by early Native American tribes as th
e Full Sturgeon Moon because the large sturgeon fish of the Great Lakes and
other major lakes were more easily caught at this time of year. This moon
has also been known as the Green Corn Moon and the Grain Moon. Since this i
s the third of four full moons in this season\, it is known as a blue moon.
This rare calendar event only happens once every few years\, giving rise t
o the term\, “once in a blue moon.” There are normally only three full moon
s in each season of the year. But since full moons occur every 29.53 days\,
occasionally a season will contain 4 full moons. The extra full moon of th
e season is known as a blue moon. Blue moons occur on average once every 2.
7 years. (copyright: http://www.seasky.org)

DESCRIPTION: The Eta Aquarids is an above average shower\, capable of produ

the Southern Hemisphere. In the Northern Hemisphere\, the rate can reach a
bout 30 meteors per hour. It is produced by dust particles left behind by c
omet Halley\, which has known and observed since ancient times. The shower
runs annually from April 19 to May 28. It peaks this year on the night of M
ay 6 and the morning of the May 7. The waxing gibbous moon will block out s
ome of the fainter meteors this year. But if you are patient\, you should s
till should be able to catch a some of the brighter ones. Best viewing will
be from a dark location after midnight. Meteors will radiate from the cons

arly morning like most other showers. The shower runs annually from October
6-10 and peaks this year on the the night of the 7th. The waning crescent
moon will not be much of a problem this year. Skies should be dark enough f
or a good show. Best viewing will be in the early evening from a dark locat

Draco\, but can appear anywhere in the sky. (copyright: http://www.seasky.o
