The activity of the Eta Aquarius meteor shower will reach its peak late at night on Saturday, May 6th. In Japan, the chance of observation will be from early morning to early morning on the 7th (Sunday) when the radiant point rises.

If you can stay up late during Golden Week, how about looking up at the night sky?

What weather are you worried about?

Tonight, the front extending from the low pressure system that passed over northern Japan will move southward near eastern and western Japan, and rain will fall over a wide area from the Tohoku region to Kyushu and Okinawa, making the weather unsuitable for meteor observation.

In Hokkaido, after the low pressure system has passed, the weather will begin to recover from the Sea of ​​Japan side, and it seems that more places will become sunny as the dawn approaches. It seems that there are expectations for meteor observation.

The activity of the eta Aquarius meteor shower is reaching its peak.

Tonight, Weather News will broadcast the eta Aquarius meteor shower live! You can enjoy meteor observation from the comfort of your home for free, so please take a look.

Under good conditions, about 5 can be observed per hour.

The radiant point of the eta Aquarius meteor shower rises in the sky around 1:00 am, so shooting stars of the meteor shower start appearing after the date changes.

This year, the meteor shower peak activity is expected to occur around 00:00 on the 7th (Sunday) Japan time, which is close to when the radiant point rises in the sky. However, the full moon illuminates the night sky all night long, so this year will be greatly affected by moonlight.

According to AstroArts, you can expect to see about 5 meteors per hour in dark areas with good visibility.

Shooting stars fly all over the sky centering on the radiant point, so please enjoy meteor observation by viewing the sky widely while not putting the moon directly into your field of vision.

Characteristics of the eta Aquarius meteor shower

The eta Aquarius meteor shower is a meteor shower that reaches its peak activity at the end of Golden Week in May every year. The parent object is Halley’s Comet (1P/Halley), which is the same as the Orionid meteor shower, which peaks in autumn. It is easy to observe in the Southern Hemisphere, and sometimes you can see meteors comparable to the Perseid meteor shower, one of the three major meteor showers.

You can expect the same number of meteors for several days before and after the maximum. If it is difficult to observe on the maximum day, please enjoy it on another day.
