Star Party: Eta Aquarids

Farewell to Mars and Jupiter and hello spring skies! The Eta Aquarids meteor shower peaks at about 30 meteors per hour as the Earth passes through leftover debris from Halley’s Comet. The crescent Moon should allow for nice views of the streaking meteors.

Cultures across the world and throughout time are united in a fascination with the night sky. Humans have used stars to mark the passage of time, tell stories, build mythologies, and navigate across vast dark oceans. With powerful telescopes and a wealth of knowledge, Bob Piekiel is your tour guide to the stars and planets, revealing the secrets of the far away, inspiring us to think about how special our little green and blue ball in space is.
