  • 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 1951 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 1951.
Peak Shower Rate/hour Moon lit Viewing
3 January 1951 Quadrantids (debris from Asteroid 2003 EH1) 110 21% Mostly dark
22 April 1951 Lyrids (debris from Comet Thatcher) 18 98% Bright moon, only the brightest will show
6 May 1951 Eta Aquariids (debris from Halley's Comet) 50 1% Dark sky, near new moon
30 July 1951 Southern Delta Aquariids (debris from Comet 96P/Machholz) 25 8% Dark sky, near new moon
12 August 1951 Perseids (debris from Comet Swift-Tuttle) 100 76% Bright moon, only the brightest will show
8 October 1951 Draconids (debris from Comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner) 10 61% Moonlight will wash out fainter meteors
21 October 1951 Orionids (debris from Halley's Comet) 20 60% Moonlight will wash out fainter meteors
5 November 1951 Southern Taurids (debris from Comet Encke) 5 46% Moonlight will wash out fainter meteors
