Tonight at 10 pm the Piscis Austrinid meteor shower reaches its peak activity. This meteor shower isn’t a particularly bright or prolific event, with a peak rate of about 5 meteors per hour. Viewing from the city will make it difficult to see the extent of the shower; however, the Moon will be very close to new moon which will help alleviate the interference from moonlight.

The southeastern sky as is will appear tonight at midnight. The radiant of the Piscis Austrinid meteor shower is located near Fomalhaut, the brightest star in the constellation of Piscis Austrinus. Star map created using Stellarium
