How to Get Shooting Stars

ACNH - Player watching shooting stars
Weather must be Bright & Clear
Dates & Times Dates: All Year
Time: 7:00 PM–4:00 AM

What Time do Shooting Stars Appear?

ACNH - A resident wishes on a shooting star

Shooting Stars happen from 7:00 PM–4:00 AM. They can appear randomly in the sky on nights with clear skies

What are Shooting Stars?

ACNH - Star Fragments are scattered on the Beach

Shooting stars are fragments of meteor showers that fall down and show up on your island when you make a wish during the weather phenomena. You can use them to craft Shooting Star or Zodiac related DIY Recipes.

Meteor Showers

ACNH - Raddle informs the resident that there

Although shooting stars can appear anytime when night sky is clear, more shooting stars will appear during a Meteor Shower.

Meteor Showers are a weather phenomena where you can watch a heavy shower of shooting stars fill the night sky!

How to Get Meteor Showers

ACNH - A resident makes a wish on a shooting star on a friend

Just like shooting stars, Meteor Showers are random and can be pretty difficult to predict. Keep an eye out for these to find out when a Meteor Shower is coming to your island!

Take note that meteor shower dates do not change on your island so it’s best to time travel to when you last remembered a meteor shower to get more star fragments!

meteors aren't random at all. they are a set formula. if you can discover your island seed you can easily see when they are scheduled. use a site like meteonook to find out your pattern, once you do, you'll know down to the second when meteors are falling.. https://wuffs.org/acnh/weather/
