"Upcoming Celestial Events: Meteor Showers and Full Moon in May 2023"
TL;DR
The Eta Aquarids meteor shower, which is created by debris from Halley's Comet, will peak on May 5 and 6, with a rate of around 55 meteorites per hour. Skywatchers in the Northern Hemisphere will have a tougher time spotting the meteor shower due to its radiant being located in the Aquarius constellation near one of the constellation's brightest stars. However, those who can't view it in person can watch it streamed online for free.
