Get Outside Monday Night to See the Eta Aquarid Meteor Shower Peak

  • The Eta Aquarid meteor shower peaked during the early predawn hours of May 3, 2025, visible from locations away from city lights.
  • This meteor shower occurs annually from debris left by Halley's comet, which approaches Earth roughly every 75 years and causes two major showers each year.
  • Observers do not need special equipment but should find a dark spot to watch fast-moving meteors that leave fiery tails as they burn up in the atmosphere.
  • NASA's Bill Cooke said to expect 10 to 15 meteors per hour at peak, though the nearly two-thirds full moon likely reduced visibility during the event.
  • The Southern Delta Aquarids, another major meteor shower caused by comet debris, is expected to peak in late July, offering further viewing opportunities.
