2024 Comet Shower Wall. The eta aquarid meteor shower peaks on may 5, and this year looks favorable for a good light show put on by bits of halley's comet as they burn up in earth's atmosphere. This shower, which favors the southern hemisphere, could produce up to 20 meteors.
In 2024, the orionid meteor shower should be most active on the mornings of october 20 and 21. Last in the inner solar system in 1986 and next due to visit in 2061, halley’s comet also causes the eta aquarid meteor shower, which peaks in early may each year.
