How rare is a meteor shower and a full lunar eclipse on the same day?

Answer 1

December 21, 2010 No this when a total lunar eclipse and meteor shower will happen on the same day and the next solar eclipse and meteor shower to happen on the same day will be on January 4th 2011 and this will be a partial eclipse not total A total eclipse and meteor shower only happen every 1000 years and that would be in December and it is a lunar not solar eclipse

Answer 2

Well...the meteor show this evening I actually a meteor shower starting dec 22nd while the lunar eclipse started at 130am dec 21st. That's 2 entirely different days. I think it would be xtremely rare for these 2 events to happen on the exact same day

Answer 3

Meteor showers are usually caused by the Earth passing through the orbit of an old comet, which happens at the same point in the Earth's orbit every year. Eclipses are caused when the Moon's orbital path crosses the ecliptic, which is the plane of the Earth's orbit. These two things aren't correlated.

So the likelihood of a meteor shower happening during an eclipse is not particularly common, but with two lunar crossings of the ecliptic each month and a dozen or so meteor showers each year, it does sometimes happen.

I'm not exactly sure, but according to The Order of the Bear, if it does, King Arthur will rise again to bring the world into the Light either by reincarnation or in original form.

Answer 5

There will be a total lunar eclipse on December 21st, and a meteor shower that peaks mid-December. Meteor showers last a couple of weeks, so there will be some overlap there.

Answer 6

once every 100 million or so?
