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

The real sky over Rome, Italy at 6 May 2027, 04:00 local time: 2,958 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 13° above the horizon over Rome at that moment — the poster marks it.

The Moon was below the horizon over Rome at that moment — a new moon, 0% lit — so it leaves the sky to the stars, and the poster shows it the way the night really was.

Brightest named stars up at that moment: Arcturus, Vega, Altair, Spica, Antares, Deneb. Every star is a real one from the HYG catalogue, placed with the exact latitude (41.90°) and longitude (12.50°) of Rome. 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.
