Summary
Get ready to spot流星 showers as dawn breaks! The annual Eta Aquarid meteor shower is set to peak early Tuesday morning with meteors streaking through Earth's atmosphere at 40.7 miles per second, originating from remnants of Halley's Comet and other space debris. Aim for early sightings in the dark skies, potentially catching about 50 meteors per hour, while Southern Hemisphere viewers may spot a particularly active display thanks to their unique viewing location.
