Eta Aquariids meteor shower will peak at dawn this Friday | Science

According to NASA, the US space agency, the meteor shower that started on the 21st of april will have the best visibility rates here in the southern hemisphere and, if weather conditions are favourable, generally between 30 to 40 meteors can be seen per hour during the peak of the phenomenon.

Here in Brazil, shooting stars, as these celestial bodies are popularly called, can be better seen between 3:30 and 5:30 in Brasilia time.

According to estimates by the Bramon network, you won’t need to look at a specific location in the sky to observe the event; the rain will present good visibility rates from north to south of the country, but the states closer to the equator, as in the North and Northeast, may have slightly more favorable conditions.
