The observation of η meteor shower in Aquarius in early May is not good, and it will be affected by the last quarter moon. The node of the orbit between the earth and the meteor group has a very wide maximum at 45.5 degrees of the Yellow Meridian, that is, around May 6. This meteor shower can be effectively observed near the equator and a few hours before dawn in the southern hemisphere, and then the moon will rise at midnight, which will affect the observation.

Due to the gravitational perturbation of Jupiter and the period of 12, the η meteor shower flow in Aquarius in 20 10 is still very large, and the zenith flow reaches 85 per hour.

It is not easy to see the η meteor shower in Aquarius in Hefei. May 6, 04:00-05:00 should be in the southeast. It will be dawn at 5 o'clock.

It is suggested to visit Wannianbu in the southwest of Hefei and the northwest bank of Chaohu Lake, where the southeast view is wide and is not disturbed by city lights.

I wish you happiness!
