“The meteorites in this stream come from the tail of Halley’s Comet, orbiting the Sun. Every year during this period, our planet gets closer to the Comet’s path, small dust particles entering the atmosphere, which when rubbed with air create the sensation of a “shooting star”, the representatives of the Observatory wrote on their Facebook page.

So if you want to see the tail dust of Halley’s Comet, all you have to do is look at the sky with the naked eye, around 2-3 o’clock, until morning. Observatory representatives say “no matter which direction you are looking, choose a direction that is not close to the Moon.”

“We will see only a few meteors per hour, quite fast, visible only for a fraction of a second. There are few, especially by the Moon, because in theory it should be 10-20. Few but precious because they come from the tail of a famous comet” , also transmitted the “Almirante Vasile Urseanu” Astronomical Observatory.
