by Tariq Malik, SPACE.com Managing EditorDate: 04 May 2013 Time: 08:40 AM ET


A meteor shower made from the dusty leftovers of the famed Halley's Comet will be at its best on Sunday (May 5) and NASA doesn't want you to miss it.

The annual Eta Aquarid meteor shower will peak Sunday night and NASA scientists will provide live views of the celestial fireworks display in a webcast from the agency's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala. The webcast and chat will run from 11 p.m. to 3 a.m. EDT (0300 to 0700 May 6 GMT), NASA officials said.

Sure not going to see it live in the sky here. We have spent the day with light showers and they aren't going away anytime soon.

So it is off to the link you provided ... well, after 11pm that is.

Thanks Rudie,
There are a couple stars visible thru the murk, but i guess I won't be seeing much unless one of them lands in my backyard.
I often see a stray meteor or two, but always miss the big showers. Usually i sleep thru them.
