Skygazers will be treated to a display of shooting stars on Friday night as the Earth passes through the dust left over from Halley’s Comet.

The Eta Aquariid meteor shower is expected to peak in the early hours of Saturday May 6 with up to 50 meteors per hour, and will be visible from midnight until dawn.

The event is associated with Halley’s Comet which is visible from Earth once every 76 years or so.

This shower favours the Southern Hemisphere, and will appear low in the sky for northerly latitudes, such as the UK, in the early predawn hours.

Are you going to watch the meteor shower?:
