No one has seen Comet Halley in decades. Even so, it’s reminding us of its presence about now. That’s because it’s responsible for the Eta Aquarid meteor shower. The shower is predicted to reach its peak tomorrow night, with top rates of about 40 or 50 meteors per hour. A meteor shower occurs when Earth passes through the orbital path of a comet. As a comet nears the Sun, some of the ice at its surface vaporizes in the heat. That releases small bits of rock and dust. Over time, this “comet dust” spreads out along the comet’s orbit. When Earth intersects the orbit, some of the debris slams into the atmosphere at tens of thousands of miles per hour – forming the glowing streaks known as meteors. The Eta Aquarids are one of two showers that are caused by Halley. The other takes place in October. Our planet passes a little deeper into the debris field in May, so this shower is better. Yet we’re a long way from the center of Halley’s trail – catching the fringe of a trail of comet dust. The shower is in better view from the southern half of the country. That’s because the point at which the meteors appear to “rain” into the atmosphere stays low in the south. To see the Eta Aquarids, find a dark, safe skywatching site, away from city lights. The best view comes in the wee hours of the morning. The Moon will be out of the way then, making it easier to see the “shooting stars” from Halley’s Comet. Script by Damond Benningfield

In just a few days, Earth will experience a meteor shower. AP correspondent Marcela Sanchez reports on whether there's a chance to see it and when the next one will happen.

Beachgoers were lounging on their towels and playing in the ocean when a dark cloud appeared on the horizon. But this wasn't your typical rainstorm—it was a massive swarm of dragonflies! Also, the Alpha Capricornids from Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, according to the American Meteor Society. Together, these showers can produce up to 20 meteors per hour, making it the best chance to see shooting stars since the Eta Aquarid meteor shower in early May. Learn more about your ad choices.

Imagine sitting at home, drinking coffee and watching a new episode of your favorite series. And suddenly a meteorite crashes into your kitchen after breaking the roof. That's what actually happened in New Jersey during the Eta Aquarid meteor shower, which is active from April 19 to May 28 and peaking on May 5 through 6. The space rock itself was the size of a pork roll sandwich. It was also pitch black and weighed almost 4 pounds. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Eta Aquarid meteor shower is about to peak! How can you see it? How do meteor showers get their names? How often do they occur and why? And why is it that shooting stars appear in different colors? Come check out this fact packed podcast!

A meager but reliable meteor shower should be at its best in the hours before sunrise tomorrow. There won't be any moonlight to interfere with the show, so it's worth a look. The Eta Aquarid shower is spawned by Halley's Comet. As the comet orbits the Sun, it loses grains of rock and dirt. Earth flies through this trail of debris twice a year — in May and October. When it does, some of the comet dust rams into Earth's atmosphere. The debris is moving at about 150,000 miles per hour, so the particles quickly vaporize. That produces the glowing streaks known as meteors or shooting stars. The meteors all enter the atmosphere from the direction of the star Eta Aquarii — hence the shower's name. They can fly across any part of the sky, though, so you don't have to look toward Aquarius to see them. But the shower is best after Aquarius rises, around 4 a.m. Eta Aquarids are best viewed from the southern hemisphere. That's because Aquarius climbs higher across the sky, and it's in view longer before sunrise. Here in the United States, the view gets worse as you work toward higher latitudes. From Austin, there are about two and a half hours of good viewing time, with a peak of perhaps a dozen meteors per hour. From Seattle or Milwaukee, though, the viewing window lasts only about one and a half hours, with almost no meteors in view. Still, occasional bright ones do zip across the sky — bright sparks from a comet.  Script by Damond Benningfield Support McDonald Observatory

This week, we're getting up before dawn to try catching a glimpse of the Eta Aquarid meteor shower. It's a cosmic lightshow that only comes around once a year, as fragments of Halley's comet streak through our atmosphere. It's at its peak between the 5th and 7th of May, visible from 2am until sunrise at around 6am. Make sure you've got this episode downloaded and ready to go, and remember to take insect repellent and a jumper if it's cold. We'll see you outside!

As Earth passes through the tail of Halley's comet, we're getting an amazing light show in the predawn skies - the Eta Aquarid meteor shower. The post Eta Aquarids Put On A Show appeared first on Trekzone.

A modest meteor shower is at its best the next couple of nights. At its peak, the Eta Aquarid shower might produce a couple of dozen meteors per hour. But the Moon is almost full now, so it’s in the sky until shortly before dawn. Its light will wash out all but a few of the “shooting stars.” The moonlight demonstrates the importance of dark skies for viewing the subtleties of the night sky. Extra light knocks out our view not only of faint meteors, but of the Milky Way, the northern lights, and many other faint but beautiful sights. We can’t do much about the bright Moon. But we can do something about artificial lights — the fixtures that light our streets, buildings, and homes. Fixtures that shine much of their light into the sky aren’t very efficient. They don’t do a good job of lighting the ground, which is what most of them are supposed to do. And since they’re wasting a lot of their light, they’re also wasting energy. What’s more, the light in the sky can distract migrating birds, sea turtles, and other creatures. It can even create health problems for people. Some cities and counties have banned inefficient outdoor lights. But individuals can help, too. Make sure that any outdoor lights are shining down, not up, and that they’re the right color — blue light is worse than warmer colors. That can help keep the skies dark, enhancing the view of meteor showers and other wonders — at least when the Moon is out of sight.   Script by Damond Benningfield
