The Eta Aquarid meteor shower, one of the most striking annual celestial events, is expected to peak in May, offering skywatchers the chance to witness dozens of meteors streaking through the atmosphere.

Bits and pieces of Halley’s Comet, which last swung by Earth in 1986, will be visible as meteors in upcoming days. The Aquarid meteor shower will peak in the pre-dawn hours of May 5 and 6.

Known for their speed, the Eta Aquarids are icy, rocky debris that’s been shed from the nucleus of Halley’s Comet each time it returns to the inner solar system and strikes the Earth’s atmosphere, according to NASA. The meteor shower will remain active until May 28.
