This weekend will be the last time Oregonians can see the Lyrid and Eta Aquarids meteor showers overlapping in 2025.

April 26 will be the last night to get a glimpse of the Lyrid meteor shower as it finishes its cycle.

The Lyrid’s activity has been overlapping with the Eta Aquarids meteor shower since it began on April 17.

Here’s what to know about the meteor showers and the best times to watch.

What time can Oregonians see the Lyrid meteor shower?

The Lyrids are located in the Lyra constellation and are best viewed in the Northern Hemisphere during the dark hours between midnight and dawn.

While the Lyrids have already peaked, the meteor shower will have “fair visibility” until April 26, according to the website Time and Date, which provides detailed information about where and when to see the phenomenon.

The Lyrid meteors have an hourly rate of 5-6 meteors and don’t tend to leave long, glowing dust trains behind them as they streak through the Earth’s atmosphere, but they can produce the occasional bright flash called a fireball.

What time can Oregonians see the Eta Aquarids meteor shower?

The Eta Aquarids are located in the Aquarius constellation and can be viewed in both the Northern and Southern hemispheres during the pre-dawn hours.

The Eta Aquarids meteors have an hourly rate of approximately 10 meteors and are known be seen as “Earthgrazers,” or long meteors that appear to skim the surface of the Earth’s horizon, according to NASA.

Will it be cloudy in Oregon during the meteor showers?

Oregon will see 72-91% chance of cloud cover on the night of April 25, and 19-79% chance of cloud cover on the night of April 26, with 19% of cloud cover mostly seen throughout the Willamette Valley, according to the National Weather Service.

When will the Eta Aquarids meteor shower peak?

The Eta Aquarids meteor shower is visible each year from April 19 to May 28 and typically peak at the beginning of May.

This year, the Eta Aquarids are set to peak on the night of May 5-6. This is the best meteor shower of the year south of the equator where up to 60 meteors per hour can be seen, but onlookers across North America may still see 10 to 30 per hour, according to the American Meteor Society.

Where are some dark sky places in Oregon to watch the meteors showers?

Oregon is home to seven dark sky places including:

Additionally, Crater Lake National Park was recently ranked the No.1 best national park in the United States for stargazing.
