Meteors will streak through the skies Tuesday night as part of the Eta Aquarids, a meteor shower made up of remnants from Halley’s comet.
Viewers in the Southern Hemisphere can expect to see an average of 30 to 60 meteors per hour, but those north of the equator will likely see fewer, astronomers said. The nearly full moon will likely interfere with viewing as well.
“Probably the main allures of this show are that these meteors are debris from the famous Halley’s comet,” said astronomer Bob Berman.
At 8 p.m. EDT, watch the Slooh’s broadcast with host Eric Edelman and experts Berman and Will Gater weighing in live.
