The Eta Aquarid meteor shower can be visible in the early hours in the morning for much of this week, according to ANU cosmologist and astrophysicist Dr Brad Tucker.
“It’s actually predictable in terms of how much it’s producing … on these meteor showers and in this case the Eta Aquarid regularly produces quite a bit,” he told Sky News.
Dr Tucker said the meteors were made up of “dust and rock that have fallen off Halley’s comet” and the shower is visible from everywhere in Australia.
