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

Stargazers are in for a treat this week as one of the most significant meteor showers of the southern hemisphere unfolds—this year's Eta Aquariids will be especially bright, with meteors passing through Earth’s atmosphere without the moon blocking the view on May 7th. Aim to catch the show early mornings, from 3am to 5am, when visibility is best. Optimal viewing requires clear skies and minimizing light pollution. For those in Australia, remote locations like Uluru or areas with minimal light pollution are ideal spots to spot this celestial display, while apps like Star Mapper can help you find the perfect vantage point.
