May 22-29 Meteors

Meteor rates over Tucson dropped during the last week of May. This was partially due to slightly worse weather but may also be due to an actual decrease in meteor activity. Now that the Eta Aquariids are over, the second half of May and June are usually slow months meteor wise. The real celestial fireworks get going in July and August.
