Meteor Shower from the Debris of Halley’s Comet

SMRTR summary

Halley's Comet debris will create the Eta Aquarids meteor shower, peaking Tuesday morning. The annual event, visible globally but best seen in the Southern Hemisphere, occurs as Earth passes through the comet's debris trail. Halley's Comet itself won't return until 2061, but its remnants provide spectacular sky shows each May and October.
