Up to 50 'shooting stars' per hour will streak through the night sky when the Eta Aquariid meteor shower peaks in the early hours of tomorrow (May 6).
Eta Aquariids are known for their impressive speed, traveling at about 148,000mph (66 km/s) into Earth's atmosphere.
When Earth passes through the path of a comet, icy, rocky bodies create streaks of light as they burn up in the atmosphere, known as shooting stars.
