- Go to Meteor shower to peak Saturday as Earth collides with Halleys comet debris
It's Not the Comet.
It not the Comet, it's Debris left over from a collision in the past,
Comet Halley will return again in the year 2061 with perihelion occurring on 28th July that year.
we have the opportunity to witness a meteor shower created by the debris left in the wake of the icy comet twice every year. The first of those two passes arrives the night of Sunday, May 5, the peak of the Eta Aquarid meteor shower.
Here's the viewing map:

I didn't know Halley's Comet could affect us this time during the cycle.
