What will the meteor showers be like in the night sky?

The southern sky will be occupied by the celestial event. For those in the Southern Hemisphere, the event will prove to be a mesmerising sight.

According to the experts, differentiating the shooting star from the constellation can prove to be tricky.

It is expected that the meteors will radiate out from various celestial figures like Orion, Perseus, and Gemini and create a fascinating mixture of lights in the sky.

Here's how you can get the best view of meteor showers

To get the best view, one is expected to watch towards the southeast region of the sky where the constellation Aquarius exists.

However, it can be difficult to spot Aquarius. Therefore, one can try to find constellations like Capricornus, Aquila, or Pisces.

These constellations are around Aquarius and it is easier to spot them. One should find a dark spot away from city lights to enjoy the event.
