Eta Aquarid Meteor Shower

The annual Eta Aquarid meteor shower is expected to peak early Tuesday morning with meteors flying into Earth's atmosphere at speeds of 40.7 miles per second, originating from Halley's Comet debris. Northern Hemisphere may see 10 to 20 meteors per hour, while those in the Southern Hemisphere may see a more active sky. The moon will set by 3 a.m. on May 6, providing ideal dark skies for meteor spotting.
