All about the Eta Aquarids meteor shower

1

Meteor shower peaks

The Eta Aquarids meteor shower will peak on May 4-5. Experts predict a meteor "outburst," which could double the number of meteors visible in the sky.

2

Celestial event

The meteor shower commenced on April 15 and will be active till May 27, per NASA. The fast-moving Aquarids are said to have an average velocity of 66km/s.

3

Cause

Meteors originate from leftover debris of comets and broken chunks of asteroids. The reason behind the Eta Aquarids meteor shower is comet 1P Halley.

4

Shooting stars

These meteors can leave behind glowing "trains", or fiery bits of debris, which last from several seconds to minutes.

5

Visibility

The Aquarids meteor shower is observable from both the northern and southern hemispheres, during predawn hours.
