METEORS FROM HALLEY'S COMET: The eta Aquarid meteor shower, caused by dust from Halley's Comet, peaks this year on May 6th and 7th. The shower is strongest over the southern hemisphere, where observers could see more than 30 meteors per hour despite the bright light of a waning half Moon. No matter where you live, the best time to look is during the hours before local sunrise on Friday.
