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

  • The Eta Aquarid meteor shower, caused by debris from Halley's comet, will peak Tuesday morning, May 6, 2025, visible worldwide under early predawn skies.
  • This meteor shower occurs annually as Earth crosses Halley's comet's orbit, which occurs every 75 years and leaves debris causing two showers yearly.
  • Viewers need to watch from a dark site away from city lights and watch between 2 a.m. And 4 a.m., though a nearly two-thirds full moon may reduce visibility.
  • Bill Cooke of NASA described the Eta Aquarids as "pretty fast meteors" with visible fiery tails, expecting 10 to 15 meteors per hour during optimal conditions.
  • This meteor shower signals Earth crossing the most famous comet’s path and is the last major shower until the Southern Delta Aquarids peak in late July 2025.
