Eta Aquarid Meteor Shower Peaks This Morning, May 6

Eta Aquariid Meteor and Milky Way Arch over Mono Lake

The Eta Aquariid meteor shower peaks this morning, Sunday, May 6. A detail in the Starweek+ app caught my eye:
“It’s usually the best shower of the year for the Southern Hemisphere”.

I have my camera out but it’s a bit cloudy here tonight, so I may try again tomorrow night.
