Kiwis across the country set their alarms a few hours early this morning to catch a glimpse of an annual meteor shower.
The Eta Aquarid shower passes earth once a year, and is one of two showers created by dust and debris from Halley's Comet.
New Zealand's dark skies at this time of year give us one of the best viewing platforms in the world.
The meteors were most visible between 3am and 5am on Friday and Saturday mornings. At their peak, there would have been up to 60 meteors an hour visible.
