A meteor shower to watch in the night from Thursday to Friday – francetv info

The space enthusiasts can look up at the sky on the night of Thursday to Friday 5 May 6 to watch a meteor shower that lights up the sky every year in the same period. To see the ETA AQUARIIDS – that’s the name of these meteors – it will look towards the constellation of Aquarius, that is to say towards the southeast, from 3 am and before daybreak not too clear up the sky.

to take advantage of the performance, it is necessary to be in a place where the horizon is clear and away from light pollution. In this regard, the May 6 falls could not be better, since it is a night of new moon. In other words, since our satellite will be invisible, its glow will not disturb the observation

If you can not watch the sky tonight, do not panic. Meteors are visible generally in smaller quantities a few days before or after May 6, which corresponds to the date when these meteors are the most numerous.
