Meteor showers are celestial events in which several shooting stars appear to originate from a single point in the sky.
While the worlds appear close in the sky, they are, of course, actually very far apart. The moon, for example, will be around 243,000 miles from Earth, whereas Mars is about 125 million miles away.
This meteor shower is expected to peak on the night of April 21-22, when the moon will be near its new phase, meaning it is almost invisible. This is good news for skywatchers as the lack of moonlight will provide perfect viewing conditions—weather permitting in your area. Meteor showers are celestial events in which several shooting stars appear to originate from a single point in the sky—what astronomers call the radiant. These showers are the result of the Earth passing through cosmic debris left behind by comets, and in some rare cases, asteroids.
