BONUS-- Meteor Shower This May will bring a lot for people who love Astronomy. During the very first week(Each Spring) Earth passes through the debris trail of Halley's Comet. When the these debris hit Earth's atmosphere these cosmic bits burn up in our atmosphere and result in the annual Eta Aquarid meteor shower.

We can see annual Eta Aquarid meteor shower every year. In 2011 the peak will occur on the night of May 5 and into the morning of May 6 (Best timing 2:30am to 5:00 am May 6th). Even you can see this shower on 5th morning and 7th morning as well at same time(2:30 am to 5:00 am) but less frequency.

Direction: -- Aquarius Constellation –( look in East of South East direction during the above mentioned hours between elevation 20 degree to 90 degrees)

**@ rates of about 40-60 meteors per hour under ideal conditions. Ideal viewing conditions are a dark, clear sky away from city lights, especially just before dawn.

Don’t miss --- one of the few rare and awesome Natural Phenomena........!!!!
