Moon Dynamics for June Bootids 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 June Bootids Meteor Shower, including:

Radiant Position:

  • Right Ascension: 14h 46m 01s"
  • Declination: 47° 54' 00s

Peak Activity: This meteor shower is active from June 18 to June 21, with peak activity typically occurring around June 20, when the shower’s rate of meteors per hour is at its highest.

Associated Parent Comet: The June Bootids originates from debris left by 7P/Pons-Winnecke. The comet's debris intersects Earth's orbit, creating the meteor shower.
