Overview
- The peak occurs overnight Saturday into Sunday, with activity starting around 9–10 p.m. local time and strongest after midnight through pre-dawn.
- Under very dark, clear skies, observers could see roughly 100–120 meteors per hour, with fewer visible where light pollution or clouds are present.
- A waning crescent moon rises after about 2 a.m., leaving the evening largely moon-free and improving visibility.
- Scan the darkest part of the sky or note the radiant in Gemini near Castor and bright Jupiter, and allow 15–30 minutes for your eyes to adapt.
- The display is widely visible across the globe, best in the Northern Hemisphere, and requires no telescope or binoculars.
