Tonight thru early morning if the skys are clear in your area you might want to step outside for a nice meteor shower. "The Eta Aquarids meteor shower will peak on May 5-7 in 2016. A new Moon on May 6 will create favorable conditions for observers to see the shower. Astronomers suggest watching the shower just before dawn."
