Stargazers hoping to witness the Eta Aquarid meteor shower this week may find their view hampered by a bright moon, which is set to diminish the celestial display. The annual shower, originating from debris left by Halley's Comet, will reach its peak on Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.
While observers in the Southern Hemisphere typically enjoy up to 50 meteors per hour, the interfering moonlight could halve this number. Those in the Northern Hemisphere are expected to see fewer than 10 meteors hourly, making the spectacle particularly challenging to glimpse.
