TL;DR Summary

The Eta Aquarids meteor shower, which peaks each year during early May as Earth passes through the debris trail from Halley's Comet, is expected to peak on Saturday. The radiant, or direction of origin, appears to come from the constellation Aquarius. The shower is visible in the Northern Hemisphere, but it's one of the best meteor showers of the year for people in the Southern Hemisphere. Moonlight may make it a bit more challenging to see, but the meteor shower is supposed to last until May 27.
