This is no baby shower, it’s full on.
“Australian skywatchers will this month get an excellent view of the Eta Aquarid meteor shower, the Southern Cross shines, and Mars is at its brightest.
If you get up early in the morning from May 6-8 you will see one of the most reliable meteor showers in the southern hemisphere.
The Eta Aquarid meteor shower, which is due to the debris from Halley’s comet, will peak at 6:00am AEST on May 6.
However, the best rates will be seen on the mornings of May 7 and 8, from 4:00am to 5:00am local time Australia-wide, where people with dark skies should see a meteor around every three minutes.”
