The annual Lyrid meteor shower put on an exceptional show for skywatchers this year, as gorgeous “shooting stars” lit up the dark night sky last April 22.
At some places in the globe with clear, dark skies devoid of light pollution, people were graced with as many as 20 visible meteors per hour. As the meteor shower gave stargazers under coronavirus lockdown a moment of much-needed respite, many are now wondering when the next meteor shower will appear within the year.Eta Aquarids on May 6
This meteor shower has a relatively broad maximum, meaning everyone can watch it the day before and after the predicted peak morning of May 6. Yet astronomers say that the gibbous moon is sure to dampen this year’s production meteors. The shower favors the Southern Hemisphere and will appear at 4 a.m at all locations across the globe. For that reason, you’ll want to watch this meteor shower in the hour or two before dawn, no matter where you are on Earth.
