On May 5 and 6, 2025, the Eta Aquariid meteor shower peaks, delivering one of the year’s best sky shows. The streaking meteors come from debris left behind by Halley’s Comet, which won’t return until 2061 — but its trail still dazzles Earth every spring. What to Expect: Up to 50 meteors per hour (Southern Hemisphere) and 10–20 (Northern Hemisphere), moving at blazing speeds of 66 km/s. Look for long, glowing trails and rare “Earthgrazers” that skim the atmosphere. Best Viewing: Peak mornings: May 5 & 6, between 3–5 a.m. Find a dark, open sky away from city lights Let your eyes adjust — and ditch the phone screen Want to photograph it? Use a tripod, wide lens, long exposure, and manual focus for best results. 🌠 Don’t miss this chance to witness pieces of Halley’s Comet light up the sky — no telescope required
