It’s gonna be a blast! The Eta Aquarids meteor shower is back and about to peak for a dazzling show. The Eta Aquarids get their name from the bright star Eta Aquarii in the constellation Aquarius, as the meteors appear to radiate from this point in the sky.

A celestial spectacle from Halley's Comet will illuminate the night sky this week. Here's how to watch and when to look up.

Bits and pieces of Halley’s Comet, which last swung by Earth in 1986, will be visible as meteors in upcoming days. The Aquarid meteor shower will peak in the pre-dawn hours of May 5 and 6.
