When is a good season to see falling stars?

Some people gave you good links in their answers, so you can find when the most spectacular showers can be seen.\n\nBut if you are patient, you can see meteors at ANY time of the year. Just lie down on the ground (its easier to stare at the sky like this), and wait ... I'm sure you won't have to wait longer than 20-40 minutes to see one.\n\nYour geographical location has no importance, but you can see more meteors before dawn then in the evening. Be sure to choose a location which is far away from any city lights (if you can see the Milky Way, its okay :-)

Well, in a very general sense, it's best to view stars and *some* planets between 10pm and midnight.  You'd have to look up the positions of each planet (or the major ones, anyway) to figure out when all of them are in sight.

For CA and west coast its best to view in the hours before dawn Sat and Sun. Although I think I read you might be able to see something around 8PM - 10PM Saturday, Look towards the east.

I hear Heavenly is opening up Nov 17th and Northstar will be open the 18th.  Not sure if there will be any snow though.

The best season during the year has been proven to be spring because it has all seasons mixed into one. Early spring it still snows. Mid spring leaves are still falling. Late spring leaves start to return and tornado season starts. So there you have it.

The exact same constellations do not *appear* in the summer as they do in the winter.  The stars are still in the same place, but we on Earth look out toward a different part of the Universe as we orbit the Sun.  For instance (in the United States), you normally see Orion in the winter, but not in the summer -- and Sagittarius in the summer but not winter.\n\nThese regular seasonal changes occur because of Earth’s revolution around the Sun: Earth’s darkened hemisphere faces in a slightly different direction in space each evening. The change in direction is only about 1° per night—too small to be easily noticed with the naked eye from one evening to the next, but clearly noticeable over the course of weeks and months.  After six months, Earth has reached the opposite side of its orbit, and we face an entirely different group of stars and constellations at night.

Not often enough. When I was homeless living in my car, I would study the constellations, try to remember the name of each star in Orion. I had a star chart. If it were not for thieves, I would live in a tent again, watch the possums and raccoons come out at night, feed and watch the birds by day, and stare into the stars at night. My dream home though would have a lighthouse top with windows all around and a telescope. Enjoy your time outdoors, and try to learn the names of as many stars as you can, for me. I don't know when or if I'll ever get the time to enjoy them like I once did again.

Go to http://skyandtelescope.com and click on "Observing", then open their Interactive Sky Chart.  It will give you a chart of the stars in your exact location at any time of the night that you choose.  It's the best sky chart that I have found.  I use it every night I go out.

The generally accepted Season of Winter commences on 12/21 or the Winter Solstice and ends roughly 3 months later or 3/21 or the spring equinox - Depending on where you live (hemispherically speaking).  This is for a northern hemisphere location.  For souther hemisphere it would be 6/21 through 9/21 for the winter season.

The night sky will appear differently to you in different years, at different times of the year, and different times of the night.\n\nThe stars appear to move across the sky each night, just as the sun does during the day, rising in the east and setting in the west.\n\nThe planets move about the sky along a path called the ecliptic, and are seen in different positions against the background of stars. Planets will be shown only on starmaps that are showing "current" conditions.\n\nIn addition, from month to month you will see a different part of the night sky, as the earth moves around the sun. The stars you see in the night sky in November are hidden from view by the sun in May.\n\nAnd of course, over the eons, the "fixed" stars are changing their positions in the sky.

Astronomically, there are roughlt 91.3 days to each season.  Weather-wise, it really depends on where you're at on the planet.

It varies place to place and even month to month.\n\nWhat one needs to consider are three things: which are the brightest stars in the sky (as these are going to be the first to be seen as the sky darkens), what times of year are these stars visible RIGHT AT DUSK, and from which parts of the globe are they visible?\n\nThe brightest star in the night sky is Sirius.  Siruis is located in the southern sky, but is visible from the vast majority of the Northern hemisphere because it isn't too far south.  If you're in a part of the world where Sirius can be seen (all but Canada, Alaska, Russia, Scandanavia, etc), and at a time of year when it is in the sky right at dusk (mid winter to early spring), then Sirius (also called the Dog Star) will be the first to be visible.\n\nOther bright stars:\n\nCanopus (visible primarily from the southern hemisphere and the tropics or subtropics)\n\nArcturus (visible throughout the Northern hemisphere, would be in evening sky probably from spring to mid summer)\n\nAlpha Centauri (the closest of all stars, visible primarily from the southern hemisphere and the tropics or subtropics)\n\nVega (the one in the movie Contact, visible throughout the northern hemisphere, in evening sky around late summer through autumn)\n\nCapella (visible throughout the Northern hemisphere, probably in evening sky around winter into early spring)

Stars seem to "twinkle " because of heat waves in the atmosphere .  They twinkle less in cold weather than in warm .
