This annual event, which peaks on the night of May 5 into the next morning, comes from the trail of debris left by Halley's comet. It's best viewed from the Southern Hemisphere, but skywatchers in the north can catch a glimpse

Halley’s Comet is leaving a trail of cosmic confetti across the sky, with the annual Eta Aquarids meteor shower peaking around May 5 and 6.

A bright waning gibbous moon may wash out this week's Eta Aquarid meteor shower peak — but early risers could still catch a few shooting stars.

Don’t let the gibbous Moon stop you from taking in the best of this meteor shower when it peaks on May 5.

The Eta Aquariids will peak May 5-6, with debris from Halley's Comet creating swift meteors, though bright moonlight will make them harder to see.
