List of meteor showers

Named meteor showers recur at approximately the same dates each year.

They appear to radiate from a certain point in the sky, known as the radiant, and vary in the speed, frequency and brightness of the meteors.

This list includes showers with radiants in both the northern and southern hemispheres.

This is a list of provisional names proposed by authors for showers that have only received a designation by the IAU Meteor Data Center.

This list of meteor streams and peak activity times is based on data from the International Meteor Organization while most of the parent body associations are from Gary W. Kronk book, Meteor Showers: A Descriptive Catalog, Enslow Publishers, New Jersey, ISBN 0-89490-071-4, and from Peter Jenniskens's book, "Meteor Showers and Their Parent Comets", Cambridge University Press, Cambridge UK, ISBN 9780521853491.
