Meteors and Meteorites

Quadrantids Meteor Shower, the First of 2024, Peaks Tonight. Here’s How to Watch.

The Quadrantids are forecast to be one of the year’s strongest showers, but they can be difficult to actually spot.

One of the most reliable meteor events on the calendar will occur during a new moon this year, which could make for excellent viewing opportunities.

Fireballs that come from the wake of comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle may be visible while the moon is a quarter full.

The latest potential supply of fireballs in the night sky comes from the trail left by Halley’s comet.

The event is formed from debris left by the comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle, and the summer weather could make it a very good show.
