Skywatchers can expect a light show with the annual Eta Aquarid meteor shower. The Eta Aquarid happens every May as space debris from Halley’s comet flies into the Earth’s atmosphere at a relatively fast rate. The meteors got its name because the particles of dust, rock and ice appear to come from the constellation Aquarius. In the Philippines, the best time to observe the meteor shower will be from 11pm to 4:30am until May 6. Find a location away from bright city lights, and look toward the constellation Aquarius. US space agency NASA also offers a livestream of the meteor shower from Alabama.
