Or maybe if you’re planning to have a big one on Saturday night, you might want to push on through until about 3:00am to give yourself a chance to catch what could be a dazzling light show.
A meteor shower known as the Eta Aquarids is set to sparkle across the night sky. The celestial show is actually the debris field left by Halley’s Comet hundreds of years ago and Earth happens to be orbiting right through its path at this time of year. The comet dust smashes into Earth’s upper atmosphere at nearly 240,000 kilometres per hour, causing greenish colours to streak across the night sky.
The meteor shower happens every year and is said to be active for a few weeks from around April 19 to May 20, although Earth ploughs most deeply into this stream of comet debris around May 5 or 6. With the Eta Aquarids peaking early next week, some of you have asked me to post this again. Happy viewing!
This will be observable from every point around the globe ?

Spain votes in third general election in four years | Sky News AustraliaSpain has voted in its third general election in four years, with fears a far-right party will enter parliament for the first time in decades.\n\nThe interior ministry said on Sunday afternoon that turnout at that point was 4 per cent higher than the previous ballot.\n\nThe incumbent prime minister, Pedro Sanchez, is set to win the most votes, but his socialists are expected to struggle to secure a majority in parliament to form a government on their own.\n\nThree right-wing parties are fighting the election, including the once-dominant conservative Popular Party (PP), the centre-right Citizens, and the nationalist and anti-migrant Vox party, which looks set to enter the lower house of parliament for the first time.\n\nAusterity, recession and chronic unemployment have led to the rise in far-right populism in Spain.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Yeah, 'fears' that the far right party might get some seats. But no 'fears' that the idiot far left socialists might continue to fuck things up, right? Smart 🇪🇸😊 Sky, your headlines are fast becoming more amusing than newscomauHQ. Fears? You mean people are now waking up to the fact that left leaning governments ruin societies?

Churches remain shut in Sri Lanka amid fears of further terror attacks | Sky News AustraliaSri Lanka's Catholics have celebrated Sunday mass in their homes, as churches remain shut over fears of further attacks by Islamist extremists. \n\nMembers of the public watched a televised broadcast of the service, a week after the Easter Sunday bombings across the island that killed more than 250 people.\n\n nobody cares anymore bc there was a soviet reactionary who shot one woman in San Diego in a mosque - so that's all they care about now Absolutely senseless behaviour. Imagine living in a country where you fear being able to go to church or out of your own home. It ramifies the need for strong boarders and and strict thorough migration checks.
