Eta Aquariid meteor shower 2027 in Chiba: the sky above you

The real sky over Chiba, Japan at 6 May 2027, 04:00 local time: 2,995 stars above the horizon, including Arcturus, Vega, Altair. This is the peak night of the Eta Aquariids, Halley's Comet's spring shower and a southern-sky favourite. Free to view, printable as an A3 star chart.

The Eta Aquariids radiant is 31° above the horizon over Chiba at that moment — the poster marks it.

The Moon was up over Chiba at that moment: a waning crescent, 1% lit, 0° above the horizon toward the north-east — the poster draws it where it really stood.

Brightest named stars up at that moment: Arcturus, Vega, Altair, Antares, Fomalhaut, Deneb. Every star is a real one from the HYG catalogue, placed with the exact latitude (35.60°) and longitude (140.12°) of Chiba. North is up and east is on the left, as when you look up.

Make it an A3 poster — $4.99

Printing it at home? There is a second paper: the same sky as ink on white. A full-bleed night A3 bands on a home printer and drinks a cartridge; the ink one does not. Same price, pick either on the next page.
