Spectacular Meteor Shower Illuminates Sydney’s Night Sky This Week

Sydney stargazers are in for a treat this week as the Eta Aquariid meteor shower dazzles the night sky from May 5 to May 7, peaking early on May 7. Originating from the debris of Halley’s Comet, this fast-moving meteor shower can be seen in the eastern skies from 2 AM to 5:40 AM, showcasing meteors traveling at approximately 50 kilometers per second. To catch the best view, stargazers are advised to look near the Aquarius constellation and may benefit from using a constellation map app. With its impressive history spanning over 2,000 years, this celestial event is a perfect reason to venture outdoors and take in the spectacle.
