Boötid Meteor Shower Peaks Tonight: What to Expect
The unpredictable Bootid meteor shower peaks tonight, offering a chance to see shooting stars in the post-sunset sky, especially in the U.S., though visibility may vary. Observers should look away from city lights and aim around 40 degrees above the radiant in Bootes for the best view, with the shower being generally weak but occasionally surprising. Recent sightings include a fireball over the northeastern U.S. and a meteor crossing the Milky Way in Malaysia.
