What is the best time to see the Eta Aquariids meteor shower 2025? Where and how can I see it in Australia?

This display caused by Earth passing through debris from Halley’s Comet will peak this week and be most visible on Wednesday – but only if you’re up before dawn

Stargazers and early risers are in for a stellar show this week, with one of the biggest meteor showers in the southern hemisphere due to light up the skies.
