The Eta Aquarid meteor shower can be visible in the early hours in the morning for much of this week, according to ANU cosmologist and astrophysicist Dr Brad Tucker.

“It’s actually predictable in terms of how much it’s producing … on these meteor showers and in this case the Eta Aquarid regularly produces quite a bit,” he

told Sky News. Dr Tucker said the meteors were made up of “dust and rock that have fallen off Halley’s comet” and the shower is visible from everywhere in Australia.

Australia in 'weaker position' because government didn't act on quarantine | Sky News AustraliaShadow Industrial Relations Minister Tony Burke says there is no doubt Australia is in a weaker position because the government didn’t make decisions on expanding quarantine facilities.\n\nImmigration Minister Alex Hawke told The Australian newspaper the federal government is considering a plan to use the Howard Springs quarantine facility solely for repatriations travellers from India.\n\n'Quarantine has been a commonwealth responsibility for more than 100 years. When the pandemic broke out you had the report that was given to them that made clear Howard Springs is one of the key sites,” Mr Burke told Sky News.\n\n“The government has been really slow to act on this. We would be in a fundamentally different position right now in terms of people returning from India if these facilities had been expanded.\n\n“Part of the reason why Mr Morrison was quite happy for the states to take the federal responsibility was if anything went wrong, he could blame them.\n\n“There is no doubt we are in a much weaker position as a nation right now because the government didn’t make decisions on the expansion of purpose built facilities.”
