In May, California will host the dazzling Eta Aquarid meteor shower, featuring streams of comet dust from Halley's comet. Occurring biannually in May and October, this meteor shower delivers spectacular displays, with peak viewing from May 5-6. Callegs can witness around 10-20 meteors per hour in the Northern Hemisphere, while southern locations may see up to 50. Viewing conditions are ideal just before dawn, particularly after the moon sets, allowing enthusiasts to observe the quick, bright streaks in the sky.
The dazzling show of shooting stars appears biannually every May and October, NASA said.
The Eta Aquarid meteor shower is one of the most prominent meteor showers south of the equator, with up to 50 shooting stars per hour.
