This Earth map fragment is intended to illustrate celestial motion across the sky, emphasizing both bearing and elevational perspectives. The map's center point corresponds to the transit, showcasing celestial objects at their highest point, while elevation gradually decreases towards the map edges. This dynamic representation offers insights into the changing positions of celestial bodies with a focus on their bearing and elevational trajectories.

Moon Dynamics for Daytime beta-Taurids Meteor Shower in 2025

Time

 

The visibility of a meteor shower depends on the Moon's position and brightness. This chart provides a detailed view of the moon dynamics for this specific meteor shower, helping you determine the best times to observe.

The blue and white areas represent night and day, while the reddish area highlights when the radiant is above the horizon. A white line marks the radiant's transit time, and the grey area shows when the Moon is above the horizon. While many focus on the meteor shower's peak date, it is often preferable to choose a time with dark skies rather than one where the Moon's brightness interferes with visibility. Click on the chart to view detailed Sun and Moon events for a specific date in the table above, ensuring you have all the information needed for a perfect stargazing experience.

Discover the Daytime beta-Taurids Meteor Shower, including:

Radiant Position:

  • Right Ascension: 05h 28m 00s"
  • Declination: 20° 00' 00s

Peak Activity: This meteor shower is active from June 21 to July 01, with peak activity typically occurring around June 25, when the shower’s rate of meteors per hour is at its highest.

Associated Parent Comet: The Daytime beta-Taurids originates from debris left by 2P/Encke. The comet's debris intersects Earth's orbit, creating the meteor shower.

Daytime beta-Taurids Observation History

This section provides a record of previous meteor shower activity, including the start, end, and peak dates. While meteor showers are often associated with traditional dates, it's important to note that these dates may vary slightly each year due to solar and atmospheric conditions.

This table serves as a helpful reference, and observers should be aware that the exact dates may shift. Be sure to check updated forecasts closer to the event to determine the best time to observe the shower, as these dates can differ from year to year.

Year Start Date Peak Date End Date
1976-02-dd-July 04-
1973-mm-ddJune 23June 28July 05
1954-mm-dd-July 01-
2008-mm-ddJune 20June 24July 01

Use this historical data as a guideline for when meteor showers typically occur, but remember that the exact timing may vary slightly each year.

Data Credits

We would like to express our gratitude to the International Astronomical Union (IAU) Meteor Center for providing valuable meteor data.

Special thanks to all the astronomers, researchers, and enthusiasts whose work contributes to the understanding and observation of meteor showers.
