The meteor showers listed below are the most common and easiest to observe in the night sky and are found to have the most activity at any point of time. However night time sky should be quite conducive for observing the same. Most of these meteor showers are best seen just after midnight.
These meteor showers are named after the constellation in which they are found. Meteor showers give us a good opportunity to just lay back lazy under the night sky and wonder at the awesome nature that God has made without any gadgets. Pack your bags...
