May is going to be full of interesting astronomical events! There are multiple types of events about to happen - Conjunction occurs when two celestial bodies appear close to each other in the sky, while opposition refers to when a planet is opposite the Sun in the sky, making it fully illuminated. Occultation happens when one celestial body passes in front of another, blocking it from view. A meteor shower is an event where multiple meteors are observed streaking across the sky, usually originating from a specific point in the sky, called the radiant.
The best event of the month -
The Eta Aquarids Meteor Shower is an annual event that typically occurs from April 19 to May 28. It's considered an above-average shower, producing around 60 meteors per hour at its peak. Most of the activity is visible in the Southern Hemisphere, although the Northern Hemisphere can still see about 30 meteors per hour. The shower is caused by dust particles left behind by comet Halley, observed since ancient times. This year, it peaks on the night of May 6 and the morning of May 7, coinciding with a nearly new moon, providing dark skies for optimal viewing. Best viewing conditions are expected from dark locations after midnight, with meteors appearing to radiate from the constellation Aquarius but visible anywhere in the sky.
