  • Public holiday in the selected country
  • Today
  • Saturday and Sunday
  • ISO 8601 week number

Weeks start on Monday so that the week number in the left gutter applies to the whole row. ISO 8601 defines week 1 as the week containing the first Thursday of the year, which is why 1957 has 52 weeks and why 1 January is not always in week 1.

Meteor showers

Peak nights drift by about a day between years, because the Earth meets each stream at a fixed point in its orbit rather than on a fixed date. What changes the view far more is the Moon, so we compute how much of it is lit on the peak night of 1957.
Peak Shower Rate/hour Moon lit Viewing
3 January 1957 Quadrantids (debris from Asteroid 2003 EH1) 110 7% Dark sky, near new moon
22 April 1957 Lyrids (debris from Comet Thatcher) 18 41% Moonlight will wash out fainter meteors
6 May 1957 Eta Aquariids (debris from Halley's Comet) 50 48% Moonlight will wash out fainter meteors
30 July 1957 Southern Delta Aquariids (debris from Comet 96P/Machholz) 25 20% Mostly dark
12 August 1957 Perseids (debris from Comet Swift-Tuttle) 100 95% Bright moon, only the brightest will show
8 October 1957 Draconids (debris from Comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner) 10 100% Bright moon, only the brightest will show
21 October 1957 Orionids (debris from Halley's Comet) 20 2% Dark sky, near new moon
5 November 1957 Southern Taurids (debris from Comet Encke) 5 97% Bright moon, only the brightest will show
