Skygazers will get to see a spectacular show in the sky when Camelopardalid meteor shower will occur on May 23 to 24. Camelopardalid meteor shower is the most-awaited meteor showers on Earth and it will radiate from the constellation of Camelopardalis.

A Dutch astronomer named Petrus Plancius first spotted the Camelopardalis constellation, the 18th largest constellation in the night sky. It was documented by German astronomer Jakob Bartsch in the 1960s. The shape of Camelopardalis constellation resembles a camel and a leopard and that is why it was named as the Camelopardalis.

It will be the first time ever when a never-heard meteor shower will showcase its radiance to Earth. There will be a flurry of meteors in the evening with as many as 1,000 meteors every hour.

Astronomy magazine's senior editor Rich Talcott is highly optimistic that an exceptional view will be provided by the Camelopardalid. "Over the past 15 or 20 years, astronomers have done a very good job at figuring out, OK, here's where the debris streams will lie. I'm thinking the odds are pretty good we'll get something nice May 24", Talcott said.

The moon would be in its waning phase on the late evening of May 23 until the early hours. And even if it rises at 3:41 am, it will not be good enough to obstruct the view.

Talcott said the sly delight could begin soon after it gets dark on the night of the 23rd. he said that he will check every hour as it is going to happen for the first time so nothing could be said too surely, and he does not want to miss this opportunity no matter what.

The head of Astronomy Ireland, David Moore, has urged people to come out of their home on May 23 and catch a view of the celestial fireworks.
