Ember Drift

Ember Drift is a meteor shower almanac covering 26 showers across the observing year, built for planning the nights you actually want to spend under the sky.

Browse the Radiant Almanac to explore showers grouped by season, from the Quadrantids in January through to the Ursids near the end of December. Search by shower name or by the constellation its meteors appear to radiate from, and clear the search whenever you want to return to the full year.

Open a Streak Dossier for a detailed look at each meteor shower. See its radiant constellation, peak night, active period, expected hourly rate at its best, meteor velocity, and the comet or asteroid associated with the stream.

Save the showers you want to observe and leave private night notes about viewing locations, sky conditions, or anything else you want to remember from an observing session.

Vigil Roster lets you create named lists for your planned observing nights and organize saved showers around the evenings you are actually available.

Zenith Desk keeps the next peak in view and shows how many nights remain before it arrives, giving you a quick starting point whenever you return to Ember Drift.

Customize your Observer Mark with a watch sigil, follow your running collection tally, and review the Watch Log to see your recorded activity with the newest nights first.

Your saved showers, notes, rosters, sigil, and watch activity remain available as you build your observing year. When you want a fresh start, clear your personal data and begin again.

Ember Drift combines meteor shower facts, seasonal browsing, observing plans, personal notes, and watch logs in one focused astronomy companion.
