Radio Meteor Zoo

The Lyrids 2026 campaign has ended.

We now move on to the Arietids and zeta Perseids, the strongest daylight meteor showers of the year. First discovered at Jodrell Bank Observatory in England in 1947, these showers occur when Earth passes through dense streams of meteoroids in space. Their peaks often overlap, and the parent bodies of both showers are still unknown.
