How to watch the meteorite rain this weekend connected to Halley's Comet.

NASA estimates that the annual meteor shower Eta Aquarids is expected to occur this weekend and reach its peak on Monday.

The meteor shower is the result of debris left by Halley's comet. Each year, when the earth crosses the trail left by the comet, some of the material is consumed in our atmosphere, giving us a flash of light.

Although the shower is more visible to viewers in the southern hemisphere, those in the northern hemisphere should still be able to capture some of the display. Fortunately, there will be no bright moon that will hinder the vision. If you manage to find an unobstructed part of the sky, you should be facing east between 3 am and dawn. It will take you about half an hour in the dark for your eyes to adjust, but you should be able to spot shooting stars.

And, according to NASA, even if you can not take the time to observe the stars Sunday or Monday morning, you should be able to take a week later.
