2024 Astronomy Events

This meteor shower is known for its speed and originates from the famous Halley’s Comet. During the peak, meteors can be seen streaking across the sky at high speeds, creating a beautiful display. However, it’s worth noting that the visibility of the Eta Aquarids can vary depending on your location. The shower tends to favor the Southern Hemisphere, but can still be viewed from other parts of the world. In the US, the best time to view the shower is during the early hours of the morning.

For stargazers in the US, the Delta Aquarids serve as a warm-up for the more prolific Perseid meteor shower, which reaches its peak in mid-August. The Delta Aquarids may be a bit more difficult to spot due to their faintness. But under dark, clear skies away from city lights, you can expect to see about 10 to 20 meteors per hour during the peak.

The Perseids is an annual astronomical event that is eagerly anticipated by stargazers in the US and around the world. It is one of the most impressive meteor showers of the year because it can produce a high rate of shooting stars that frequently leave persistent colorful trails across the sky.

Stargazers should be able to observe Saturn more clearly on this night, even with unaided eyes, by looking in the east-southeast direction after sunset. It will stand out in the sky, appearing as a bright yellowish star.

Visible in certain parts of the world including North and South America, and parts of Europe and Africa.
