Eta-Aquarid meteor shower

The η–Aquarid meteor shower will reach its maximum rate of activity.

Some shooting stars will be visible each night from 24 Apr to 20 May, but the best show will be expected on or around 6 May 2014.

The maximum number of meteors expected to be visible from a dark location is around 40 per hour (ZHR). The Moon will be 7 days old at the time of peak activity, and so will present significant interference in the early evening sky.

The radiant of the η–Aquarid meteor shower is at around right ascension 21h55m05s , declination -01°00’00”.
