The Eta Aquarids meteor shower, which occurs annually from April 19 to May 28, is peaking this week, according to the American Meteor Society.
Skygazers are flocking to social media to share their photos of possible meteor sightings. Here are some of our favorites:

#EtaAquarids: enjoying very transparent skies here, had a good night of #meteor watching from Medvedje Brdo, #Slovenia. Local name translates into 'Bear Hill', thankfully no bears (yet). And about as many ETAs: a total of 5 seen. As expected this far north. #Stormhour #astronomy pic.twitter.com/GvNmjHpUpo
