The Eta Aquarid meteor shower will be reaching its most active period, producing its highest number of meteors during the pre-dawn hours.

While visible in both hemispheres, the Eta Aquarids are most striking from the southern tropics. In northern skies, these meteors appear low on the horizon, at a rate of only about 10 streaks per hour, according to NASA. They radiate from the constellation Aquarius, which will be visible near the eastern horizon in the hours before dawn.
