Famous comet’s yearly meteor shower will be spectacular display
Eta Aquariids have roughly a week of activity in May, though they are better seen from southern hemisphere
Debris from the tail of one of the most famous comets of all – Halley’s comet – will slam into the Earth’s atmosphere this week, creating a meteor shower. The Eta Aquariids are not fantastically well placed for northern sky watchers, but they can still be rewarding for those willing to get up in the early hours.
