Friday, May 6th will feature an early morning meteor shower. Get up in the wee hours of the morning and you could witness the eta Aquarid meteor shower.

From the Nasa website, “The eta Aquarids are best viewed from the southern hemisphere, but there’s something special about them no matter where you live: ‘Each eta Aquarid meteoroid is a piece of Halley’s Comet doing a kamikaze death dive into the atmosphere,’ explains NASA astronomer Bill Cooke. ‘Many people have never seen this famous comet, but on the morning of May 6th they can watch bits of it leave fiery trails across the sky.’”
