This is how you can see the last spring meteor shower that will peak on Monday night

The meteors from the annual Eta Aquarid meteor shower will fly across the sky before sunrise on May 4, 5 and 6, giving everyone a spectacular spectacle.

Even though this is not one of the largest meteor showers of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, it will continue to offer an impressive light show in the night sky. It is also a good way to start the Cinco de Mayo festivities.

This is how you can see the last spring meteor shower that will peak on Monday night

Although rain can be seen from all over the world, according to Earth Sky, “Eta Aquariids are especially good from Earth’s southern hemisphere and from the southernmost latitudes of the northern hemisphere.

Appreciably north of 40 degrees north latitude (the latitude of Denver, Colorado; Beijing, China; and Madrid, Spain), the meteorites are few and far between. The reason has to do with the moment of twilight and dawn in the different parts of the Earth. “

If you’re stuck and can’t seem to get out to see the screen, don’t worry because it has a wide look, so you’ll still be able to see some meteors on the surrounding nights.

Eta Aquarids are best viewed from the southern hemisphere due to low radiation from the sky, which will leave some meteorites to streak below the horizon.

Locating the radiant will be a great help in observing the meteor shower.

Thrillest also said, “To get the best Eta Aquarids experience, get out of town and away from light pollution as possible. Those dark skies are the key to seeing any meteor shower, but that’s especially true with one that it is fast and weak meteorites. You will also want to find a place with a clear view along the horizon. Trees and buildings will block the view of some of the skies, limiting the amount of meteors you will be able to see. This is particularly important with a shower who has such a radiant low in the sky. “

It can be very useful if you try to locate the radiant or the exact point where the meteors will appear, which will be inside the constellation of Aquarius in the eastern sky. The more sky you can see and see, the more meteors you will see.

There are other things you can see while watching the Eta Aquarids. In addition to the Aquarius constellation, you will also be able to see Mars in the morning sky as you look east. You will sit to the right of the constellation.

However, the use of binoculars or telescopes to view the event will limit your field of vision along with the amount of meteors you will see. But you can still use them to get a better view of Mars.
