A meteor shower composed of the debris generated by the halley comet’s stelae may be appreciated in the coming early hours of May throughout the Southern Hemisphere.This phenomenon will be better appreciated in Latin America, as in south American countries there is a better chance of sighting (two-thirds more than in the north of the continent) due to the position of the constellation from which they come.
According to NASA, they instructed that: “The constellation of Aquarius, home to the radiant Eta Aquacharides, is higher in the sky in the southern hemisphere than in the northern hemisphere”
The star shower composed of the debris of the sle Halley comet, whose last near-Earth appearance was in 1986, will be a phenomenon that can be seen in clear skies.
“After about 30 minutes in the dark, your eyes will adapt and you’ll start seeing meteors. Be patient: the show will last until dawn, so you have plenty of time,” they explained from NASA.
To see this phenomenon called meteor shower it is not necessary to have any special equipment, although it is preferable to be located at a point where you can appreciate the whole sky since it is common for the Aquacharid Eta to be seen in the areas near the horizon.
