Upcoming Meteor Showers: Dates and Locations to Catch Shooting Stars
TL;DR
The Eta-Aquarids meteor shower, caused by Halley's Comet, will peak on May 5-6 and can be seen anywhere in the night sky. While Halley's Comet won't return until 2061, its remains in the inner solar system cause two annual meteor showers. To see the Eta-Aquarids, it's best to be in a dark sky destination around midnight when the constellation Aquarius is highest in the sky. Photographing the meteor shower with a DSLR or mirrorless camera is recommended.
