Don't Miss the Spectacular Meteor Showers and Full Moon this Weekend!
TL;DR Summary
The Eta Aquariid meteor shower will peak during May 5-7, 2023, but it will be better viewed in the Southern Hemisphere. Under a dark sky, it is possible to see 10 to 20 meteors per hour in the southern United States, but less in the northern part of the country. The full flower moon on May 5 will limit the viewing of the meteor shower. The Eta Aquariid shower is the result of the earth passing through the debris trail of Halley’s Comet.
