Watch the Eta Aquarid Meteor Shower Live Tonight [VIDEO]

Late tonight/early this morning, beginning right around 2:30am, the Eta Aquarid meteor shower will occur and you can watch it happen live, via the video above.

Here are the details, courtesy of NASA:

Each spring as Earth passes through the debris trail from Halley's Comet (1P/Halley), the cosmic bits -- moving at 148,000 mph -- burn up in our atmosphere to create the annual Eta Aquarid meteor shower. This year's peak occurs on the night of May 5-6, with meteor rates of about 30/hour in the northern hemisphere and about 60/hour in the southern hemisphere. The first-quarter moon sets just after midnight, helping to darken the skies. Peak viewing for the shower will be from 2:30 a.m. until dawn, your local time.

With the possible overcast weather we'll have around 2:30am, this live video may be your best opportunity to see the meteor shower.
