The Eta Aquarid meteor shower will peak in the early hours of May 6, 2025, providing an opportunity to see up to 50 meteors per hour, particularly in the Southern Hemisphere. Originating from debris from Halley’s Comet, the best viewing conditions will occur after the moon sets around 3 a.m., allowing dark skies until dawn. Observers are advised to find a location away from city lights, lie on their backs facing east, and be patient as their eyes adjust to the darkness.
