Watch Eta Aquarids early May 6

For prime viewing, head out early on May 6 and look east.
Find Aquarius near stars Zeta Aquarii and Sadachbia (a stargazing app can help).
Even though a bright moon will be up after midnight, you should still spot some impressive fireballs.
The Eta Aquarids run until May 28 and are caused by Halley's Comet.
