The Eta Aquarids meteor shower, originating from Halley's Comet debris, peaks this week. Viewers can expect to see 10-15 meteors per hour under ideal conditions, though a nearly full moon may reduce visibility. The shower is visible until May 28th and requires only a dark viewing location. The next major shower, the Southern Delta Aquarids, peaks in late July.
