From the Eta Aquarid meteor shower will be streaking across the sky this week.

Thursday, May 5, but it will continue into Friday night, which is the peak viewing time of this year’s Eta Aquarid show.

Still be able to see some shooting stars on Saturday and Sunday, as well.

Perfect this year. A sliver of moon that sets relatively early ensures a darker sky.

Expect to see 10-20 meteors an hour emanating from the constellation Aquarius, specifically from the star Eta Aquarii.

You get as far away from city lights as possible for the best viewing experience, though.
