Meteor Shower Peaks Tonight Over U.S.
Many, many moons ago, about 30 years worth of them, Halley's Comet passed by our solar system, leaving a very long trail of debris. A trail so long, tonight's Eta Aquarids meteor shower is part of it. The ideal location for seeing the meteor shower would be along the Gulf coast, we in Quincy and Hannibal unfortunately are along the furthest edge of visibility, we'll be lucky to see even a handful.
