The Lyrid ray, the constellation of Hercules, rises well before midnight, so the meteors are evident all night long, but are most likely to be seen just before dawn, when the ray reaches its highest point in the sky.
Eta Aquarids (May)
Eta Aquarids are busy from approximately mid-April to the end of May. This meteor shower does not have a keen peak: elevated activity lasts for about a week, with activity peaking on one night during the first week of May.
In the Northern Hemisphere, Eta Aquariids is a medium-strength shower that produces about 10 to 30 meteors per hour. According to the American Meteor Society, many of these meteors form persistent trains. One more thing that makes Eta Aquarids unique is that these meteorites are actually remnants of the renowned Halley’s Comet.
The radiant Eta Aquarius, the constellation of Aquarius, appears very low in the sky in the Northern Hemisphere in April and does not peak above the eastern horizon until after 2 a.m. local time. However, meteors from this shower are still visible even if the radius is just below the horizon.
Southern Delta Aquarids (July–August)
South Delta aquarids are busy from mid-July to mid- to overdue August, peaking in activity for about a week in overdue July. Unlike other meteor showers, South Delta Aquarius does not have a keen peak. Instead, the number of meteors per hour gradually increases and then slowly decreases during the busy period.
The radiant of Aquarius from the South Delta is the constellation Aquarius.
Although this meteor shower usually produces meteors that are slightly fainter and do not have lasting trains, this meteor shower is nonetheless worthwhile: under ideal viewing conditions, you will be able to see about 25 shooting stars per hour.
