Summary
The Eta Aquariids meteor shower, one of the biggest in the southern hemisphere, is expected to peak on May 7th. Brighter than usual due to clear skies, it will be visible from early morning until mid-morning, with optimal spots including dark areas like Uluru and national parks across Australia. Check the weather first, avoid bright lights, and use apps like Star Mapper for guidance. Causes include debris from Halley’s Comet as Earth slices through it each year.
