Halley’s comet swings near Earth every 75 years. But debris left by the comet leads to two major meteor showers annually.

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.
