Chinese Observatory Recommends Spectacular Meteor Showers
The Eta Aquarid and Orionids, two annual showers caused by the return of Halley's Comet to the inner atmosphere, will likely be visible overnight from May 4 to 5 and Oct. 19 to 20, respectively, said the observatory, citing the International Meteor Organization.
These meteor showers are visible with naked eyes and special equipment like telescopes and binoculars are not necessary, said Hu Fanghao, a researcher at the observatory. (Xinhua)
