WEAKLY NEWS

People across the country have put their alarms a couple hours early over the weekend to catch a glimpse of an annual meteor shower. The Eta Aquarid shower passes the earth once a year (sounds cool), and is one of two showers created by dust and debris from Halley’s Comet (A very big commit). New Zealand’s very dark skies at this time of year give us one of the best viewing places in the world.The meteors were most visible between 3am and 5am on Friday and Saturday mornings. At their peak (I ain't got no time for that)There would have been up to 60 meteors an hour visible.
