On the nights of May 5 and 6, it will be possible to observe, especially from the southern hemisphere, fragments of Halley's Comet that will brush the Earth's atmosphere as it passes our planet, as reported by NASA's Meteorite Office.
Comet debris will be visible at a rate of 60 meteors per hour from the southern hemisphere if the sky remains clear and dark. "The radiant, the place in the sky where the meteors appear, will not be that high in the northern latitudes, but they will remain visible at 20 to 30 per hour. Many more meteors can be observed if you live at 40 degrees North latitude. "reported NASA.
Every year you can see the meteor shower generated by this comet, called Eta Aquarid . Meteor showers are named according to the constellation they come from, in this case it is Aquarius.
The Harley comet was fully visible 25 years ago, and in half a century it will be seen again.
