Essential Guide for Observing the Eta Aquarids Meteor Shower

The Sunshine Coast is set to experience a dazzling display as the Eta Aquarids meteor shower peaks in the early hours of May 7, with up to 50 meteors visible per hour. This annual phenomenon, originating from the debris trail of Halley’s Comet, will be best observed after 2 a.m. when the meteor shower rises above the eastern horizon, continuing until dawn. Residents are encouraged to find dark locations with minimal light pollution for optimal viewing, particularly in the proposed Dark Sky Reserve areas. This initiative aims to preserve dark skies, support local wildlife, and promote community engagement with stargazing. As the meteor activity is already underway, now is a perfect time to prepare for a memorable night under the stars.
