Find out when you can catch the best meteor showers this year with our 2023 meteor shower calendar.
Bill leads NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office at the agency's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. We asked Cooke if he had to choose, which three meteor showers would he recommend for 2023.
"The big two are relatively unaffected by moonlight in 2023, so they head my list: Geminids and Perseids." Cooke wrote in an email to Space.com. "As for number three, that is an interesting choice. Even though the moon is full, I would have to go with the eta Aquariids, as they are projected to have a significant outburst on the night of May 4/5." Cooke continued. "The outburst will be caused by particles ejected from Comet Halley way back in 390 BC, and rates should be over two times the norm .
"Conditions are good for the big two — especially for the Geminids. Conditions are also favorable for the medium-strength Lyrids in April, the Orionids in October, and the Leonids in mid-November." Cooke wrote. "However, the Quadrantids in January will be washed out by moonlight, as well as the Ursids at the end of December."Meteor showers 2023 peak dates
