| | Forthcoming meteor showers |
 | | The most active two showers - the Perseids and Geminids - peak within a few days of New Moon, whilst the Taurids and Leonids are also favourably timed and the Lyrids and Orionids are fairly well timed (if you can observe late in the night). |
 | | As ever, there will be some showers unfavourably timed and in 2007 this is the case for the Eta Aquarids, Delta Aquarids-S, Alpha Capricornids and Ursids. |
 | | However, active throughout May and June are several showers whose radiants are only above the horizon during daylight hours (although in a few cases, some activity may be detectable late in the night by observers in tropical latitudes). |
