4.5: Ice and Fireballs

This week, we're getting up before dawn to try catching a glimpse of the Eta Aquarid meteor shower. It's a cosmic lightshow that only comes around once a year, as fragments of Halley's comet streak through our atmosphere. It's at its peak between the 5th and 7th of May, visible from 2am until sunrise at around 6am. Make sure you've got this episode downloaded and ready to go, and remember to take insect repellent and a jumper if it's cold. We'll see you outside!
