The Eta Aquarid meteor shower 2025 peaks tonight! Here's how and when to catch one of nature's most spectacular light shows, courtesy of Halley's comet.
Southern hemisphere skywatchers will have the best view of the Eta Aquarids with the highest number of shooting stars. This is because the point of origin of the shower — known as the radiant — is high in the sky in the constellation of Aquarius at this time of year for those in southern latitudes. However, NASA has estimated that stargazers in the northern hemisphere can still see around 10 meteors per hour under dark sky conditions, so be sure to stake your meteor hunting spot out ahead of time!
