The Eta Aquarid meteor shower is peaking. Experts say expect to see 10 to 15 meteors per hour in ideal viewing conditions early Tuesday.

Bits and pieces of Halley’s Comet, which last swung by Earth in 1986, will be visible as meteors in upcoming days. The Aquarid meteor shower will peak in the pre-dawn hours of May 5 and 6.

Many Southern Hemisphere observers consider this shower to be the best meteor shower of the year, but it's a different story for Northern Hemisphere skywatchers.
