Shooting Stars Light Up the Sky in May 2026!

Get ready for an amazing show in the night sky next May when hundreds of shooting stars will zoom across the darkness! These special meteors [space rocks burning up as they fall toward Earth] are called the Eta Aquariids, and they happen every year around the same time. If you find a dark spot away from city lights and look up at the right time, you might see dozens of these glowing trails streaking overhead—it's like nature's own fireworks show!
