Eta Aquarid Meteor Shower: How to Watch the Amazing Sky Event.

The Eta Aquarid meteor shower will be visible this weekend, with the best time to watch being early Sunday morning. This meteor shower happens every year and is made up of pieces of Halley's comet.

You don't need any special tools to see meteor showers, they are best seen in areas without much light. Meteor showers happen when rocks from space enter Earth's atmosphere and burn up, leaving a bright trail.

These 'shooting stars' can be seen at any time of night but are easiest to see between midnight and dawn. Clear skies and a small moon also make it easier to see meteor showers.

The Southern Hemisphere will have the best view of the Eta Aquarids, but people in the Northern Hemisphere will still be able to see them. This is because the moon will be small and not very bright.

If you miss the Eta Aquarids, there are other meteor showers later in the year. The next big one is the Southern Delta Aquarid meteor shower at the end of July.
