The Meteor Shower is an event that occurs on August 12th in Animal Crossing and randomly in Animal Crossing: City Folk, Animal Crossing: New Leaf and Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
Appearances
In Animal Crossing
The event occurs from 6 PM to 9 PM on August 12th. At this time, the player can go to the town lake to watch the Meteor Shower. During the event, Tortimer will give the player a telescope for attending the event. During this event, the meteors can only be seen reflected through the lake, since the player cannot see the sky.
In Wild World
There are no Meteor Showers, but meteors may appear randomly between 7 PM and 4 AM in the sky, regardless of weather. The player can wish on these stars if they press 'A' while the meteor is on screen and are not holding a tool or umbrella. This will cause a Spotlight Item to be sent to the player's mailbox from "Wishy the Star" the next day.
In City Folk
The Bulletin Board will have a message about the Meteor Shower the day it occurs, which is completely random. This time, Meteor Showers are completely cosmetic—players cannot wish upon the stars and do not gain anything by watching them.
In New Leaf
The Meteor Shower returns in New Leaf, appearing on random days when the weather is clear. They do not appear on the following dates:
- April 1 - 10
- June 16 - July 5
- December 10
- December 24 - 30
A note will appear on the town's signboard between 10 and 11 AM on the day of the shower. As with Wild World, the player can wish upon a star, which is done by pressing 'A' upon hearing the twinkling sound of a shooting star. If a wish is made, the next day, a letter will appear in the mail from "Wishy the Star" with a piece of rare furniture.
In New Horizons
Meteor showers can occur on clear or partly cloudy nights after days with no precipitation, between 7 PM and 4 AM. Visits from Celeste always coincide with a meteor shower, but the opposite is not true: it is possible for a meteor shower to occur without Celeste visiting. When talked to for the first time, Celeste will instruct the player on how to wish upon shooting stars and give them a DIY recipe for a Star Wand; she will then give a new random space/zodiac-themed DIY each new day a player meets her, even if from a different island (which is random per person, unlike the gift from a crafting Villager).
Most meteor showers are small, with about 5 to 30 shooting stars per hour. However, Tom Nook or Isabelle will on rare occasions note a meteor shower's occurrence in the day's announcements. In these cases, the meteor shower will be much heavier, with clusters of 5 or more shooting stars appearing every few minutes and over a hundred per hour.
A GUIDE FOR COLLECTING MOONROCKS!
In animal crossings new horizons, there is a new technique to collect moonrocks, moonrocks are a grey rock that appears on your island, after you look at a full moon for 5 minutes, the rock will appear the next day on your shore. At the fully updated Nooks cranny, you can sell these moonrocks for 20k per rock.
So get on to your moon-gazing, Moonrock collecting, and Becoming a multimillionaire within seconds!
Enjoy your bells!
