On May 6, 2012 just before the sunrise the eta Aquarid Meteor shower peaks in both northern and southern hemisphere. In the Northern hemisphere around 10 meteors will be visible per hour and in Southern hemisphere around 30 meteors will be visible per hour. Unfortunately the meteor shower will be out shined by the Super Moon on May 6, 2012. Hopefully some bright meteors will be seen.
Look towards the east direction 2 hours before the sunrise to see the meteor shower. The radiant of the shower is from the constellation of Aquarius.
