Eta Aquarids Meteor Shower

[object Object]

In Science, Eta Aquarids Meteor Shower, which is a meteor shower that can produce up to 60 meteors per hour at its peak, can normally be seen most clearly in the Southern Hemisphere.

It is usually visible from about April 19 to about May 28 each year with peak activity on or around May 5, and may require you to find a dark location away from city lights, and let your eyes adjust to the darkness for ~20 minutes.
