Eta Aquarid meteor shower peaks this week! Here's how to watch the show.

You may see as many as 50 shooting stars an hour.

The best way to see meteors, according to Cooke, is to lay flat on your back while looking straight up. That position will give the largest view of the sky without neck strain.

Justin Ng of Singapore captured this view of a bright Eta Aquarid meteor hurtling across the night sky over Mount Bromo, on the Indonesian island of Java., which returns to Earth every 76 years. The"shooting stars" you see will be flecks of dust or small pebbles that burn up high in the atmosphere. Meteorites, or space rocks that make it to the ground, tend to come from one-time fireballs of asteroid fragments.
