This week, the Perseid meteor shower was visible and many people were able to catch sight of the brilliant meteors streaking through the sky.
But for those who missed it, there are still plenty of upcoming opportunities to view a meteor shower before the end of the year.
Here is a look at the meteor showers that will be visible through the rest of 2025.
Draconids
When will it be active: Oct. 6 to Oct. 10, peaking on Oct. 8.
When is the best time to view the meteor shower: After darkness falls on Oct. 8 into the early morning hours of Oct. 9.
According to EarthSky, the Draconids are an oddity because they are more likely to be seen in the evening hours instead of the morning hours after midnight.
In most years, the shower only produces a handful of meteors per hour, but in some years observers can see hundreds of meteors per hour. It is possible that can happen this year because of activity of the parent comet, per EarthSky.
Orionids
When will it be active: Oct. 2 to Nov. 12, peaking Oct. 22-23.
When is the best time to view the meteor shower: Starting at midnight on Oct. 21.
According to the American Meteor Society, the Orionids are a medium-strength meteor shower that can reach high-strength activity. In normal years, the shower produces a maximum of 10-20 meteors per hour, but some years have produced 50-75 an hour. The light from the moon is not expected to affect the meteor shower this year.
The Orionids are fast-moving, occasionally leaving persistent trains and sometimes producing bright fireballs, per EarthSky.
Southern Taurids
When will it be active: Oct. 13 to Nov. 27, peaking on Nov. 5.
When is the best time to view the meteor shower: Around midnight on Nov. 5.
The Southern Taurids are made up of two main components, the annual component and the swarm component, per the American Meteor Society. The Taurids are full of fireballs. This year, the peak of the Southern Taurids falls at the same time as a full moon, meaning moonlight will interfere with most Taurid meteors.
Northern Taurids
When will it be active: Oct. 13 to Dec. 1, peaking Nov. 8 to Nov. 9.
When is the best time to view the meteor shower: Around midnight on Nov. 8.
According to the American Meteor Society, the Northern Taurids are similar to the Southern Taurids, just appearing slightly later in the year. When the two showers are active simultaneously, like they are this year, there can be a notable increase in fireball activity.
Leonids
When will it be active: Nov. 3 to Dec. 2, peaking on Nov. 17.
When is the best time to view the meteor shower: Late on the night of Nov. 16 until dawn Nov. 17.
This meteor shower is best known for producing meteor storms in 1999, 2001 and 2002. These meteor storms had rates as high as thousands of meteors per hour, per EarthSky. These storms return every 33 years or so.
According to NASA, the Leonids are bright meteors that can also be colorful. They are also fast, traveling at speeds of 44 miles per second.
Geminids
When will it be active: Dec. 1 to Dec. 21, peaking on Dec. 14.
When is the best time to view the meteor shower: All night Dec. 13 to 14.
According to EarthSky, the moon will not interfere with the viewing of this meteor shower. With a dark sky, the meteor shower is expected to produce around 130 meteors per hour.
The Geminids are usually the strongest meteor shower, with meteors that are often bright and intensely colored, per the American Meteor Society. This is also a shower that is known to produce good activity before midnight.
Ursids
When will it be active: Dec. 16 to Dec. 26, peaking on Dec. 22.
When is the best time to view the meteor shower: Starting the evening of Dec. 21 until dawn on Dec. 22.
The Ursids meteor shower is only seen in the Northern Hemisphere, and this year, because of the new moon, there will be no interference from moonlight, per the American Meteor Society.
This meteor shower has a slower pace of meteors than the Geminids, with observers normally seeing five to 10 Ursids per hour. Occasionally there are outbursts of activity with more than 25 meteors per hour.
