This weekend our planet will pass through a trail of dusty debris from
distant Comet Halley, triggering the annual eta Aquarid meteor shower. The
nearly-full Moon will reduce the visibility of this year's eta Aquarid
shower.  Nevertheless, southern observers could spot as many as 10 meteors
per hour before local dawn on Saturday and Sunday.  Meteor enthusiasts can
also try listening to the shower by tuning in to NASA's online meteor
radar.
