Every year, typically between late April and mid-May, Earth passes through the debris left behind by the legendary comet.
This cosmic spectacle, known as the Eta Aquariids meteor shower, reaches its pinnacle around the beginning of May, treating observers to a breathtaking display of shooting stars.
However, the peak of this celestial event, when the shower is at its most intense, is a moment not to be missed.
At the peak of the Eta Aquariids meteor shower, skywatchers are in for a treat as they can witness up to 50 meteors streaking across the sky every hour.
With each passing minute, these luminous beams dance across the darkness, leaving behind fleeting trails of light that mesmerize and inspire awe.
The brilliance of the meteors, combined with the quiet serenity of the night, creates a truly enchanting experience for those fortunate enough to witness it.
The radiant point of the Eta Aquariids, the location in the sky from which the meteors appear to originate, lies near the constellation Aquarius.
