IMO INFO(2-18) 1 International Meteor Organization 2019 Meteor Shower Calendar edited by J¨urgen Rendtel 1 1 Introduction Welcome to the twenty-ninth edition of the International Meteor Organization (IMO) Meteor Shower Calendar. We intend to draw the attention of observers to both regularly returning meteor showers and to events which may be possible according to model calculations. We may experience additional peaks and/or enhanced rates but also the observational evidence of no rate or density enhancement. The position of peaks and data of shower meteor magnitudes along the stream are important information. Such data may help to improve our knowledge about the effects and interactions from the release of a meteoroid from its parent object until it enters our atmosphere. Further, the Calendar hopefully continues to be a useful tool to plan your meteor observing activities. Nowadays, video meteor networks are operational throughout the year which are less affected by moonlit skies than visual observers. So we refer to the moonlight conditions first of all for the visual observer. The moonlight circumstances for observations of the three strongest annual shower peaks bring essentially new Moon for the Quadrantids, a waxing gibbous Moon for the Perseids and full Moon for the Geminids. Conditions for the maxima of the Lyrids (shortly after full Moon), the Orionids and the Leonids (last quarter) will strongly interfere with visual observations. The η-Aquariids are well observable (new Moon), while the Southern δ-Aquariids and the Ursids reach their maxima close to the new Moon. The Draconids see a waxing gibbous Moon. Some interesting events are announced for 2019, although no spectacular outburst is predicted. Since there is always a possibil
