Eta Aquarids Meteor Shower Peaks, Visible Across Arizona
The Eta Aquarids meteor shower is reaching its peak activity in 2026, offering a spectacular celestial display for skywatchers in Arizona and across the U.S. This annual event occurs as Earth passes through the debris trail left by Halley's Comet, resulting in fiery meteors known as 'shooting stars.' The shower is expected to be most active on May 5-6, with up to 50 meteors visible per hour under optimal conditions. However, the bright moon and potential cloud cover could interfere with visibility. Arizona offers several dark sky locations for optimal viewing.
