Although the Perseid meteor shower in August may draw the most attention, the Eta Aquarid meteor shower, which occurs from roughly late April to mid-May, offers a long stretch of spectacular "shooting stars" that even a casual observer can spot in the night sky.

The peak of the Eta Aquarid meteor shower, when the most meteors are visible, should happen before dawn on May 5, according to Bill Cooke, who leads NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office. That means you'll need to schedule your stargazing time overnight on May 4 and May 5.

Rates this year can reach up to 50 meteors per hour during that time Cooke told. The meteor shower is of medium brightness, and the darker your skies the more you'll see.

The meteors appear to originate from Eta Aquarii, one of the brighter stars in the constellation Aquarius
