Dublin's amateur stargazers, make sure you book this evening off in your diary.
Eta Aquarids is an annual meteor shower that runs from April 19 to May 28 every year.
The sky high event will peak tonight and Wednesday night, providing you with the perfect opportunity to see a shooting star.
Astronomy Ireland's David Moore says there will be between 10 to 20 shooting stars an hour and the best time to view them is after midnight.
But where exactly do they come from?
NASA explained: “The Eta Aquarids are pieces of debris from Halley’s Comet, which is a well-known comet that is viewable from Earth approximately every 76 years.
“Also known as 1P/Halley, this comet was last viewable from Earth in 1986 and won’t be visible again until the middle of 2061.
“The annual Eta Aquarid meteor shower gets its name because the radiant — or direction of origin — of the meteors appears to come from the constellation Aquarius.”
