Eta aquarids meteor shower peaks may 6, visible until may 27

Edited by: Света Света

The Eta Aquarids meteor shower will peak on May 6 and remain visible until May 27. These meteors originate from the debris trail of Comet 1P/Halley (Halley's Comet).

The meteors will appear to radiate from the constellation Aquarius. Viewers can expect to see about 40-85 meteors per hour, depending on sky conditions. Look towards the eastern horizon near the constellation Aquarius after 3:00 a.m.

Saturn and Venus will also be visible in the constellation Pisces after 4:00 a.m. They will appear close to the radiant point of the meteor shower.
