Let's Get Down to Business (or Up to the Stars)
Before we get too excited about shooting stars and making wishes, let's be real. Meteor showers are a little like waiting for the bus. You can plan all you want, but they tend to arrive when they feel like it. And sometimes, they're late. Or early. Or just plain no-shows.
QuickTip: Stop scrolling fast, start reading slow.

That being said, there are some general guidelines. Most meteor showers peak in the wee hours of the morning. Think around 2-4 AM. But don't quote us on that. We're not meteorologists (or meteor-ologists, if that's a thing).
QuickTip: Reflect before moving to the next part.
Tips for a Stellar Viewing Experience
- Find a Dark Spot: Light pollution is the enemy of stargazing. So, ditch the city lights and head to the countryside, a park, or even your backyard if it's dark enough.
- Pack Your Patience: Meteor showers are like waiting for the perfect wave. You need to be patient. Bring a comfy blanket, some snacks, and maybe a good book to pass the time.
- Dress Warmly: Even in Texas, nights can get chilly. Layers are your friend.
- Leave Your Phone Alone: The glow from your phone can ruin your night vision. So, put it on silent and enjoy the show.
- Make a Wish (or Two): If you're lucky enough to see a shooting star, don't forget to make a wish! Or two. Or three. We won't judge.
How to...
- How to find a dark spot near Houston? Use a light pollution map or check out local parks and nature preserves.
- How to stay awake during a meteor shower? Bring a thermos of coffee or tea, or try a little exercise to stay energized.
