Why the week count moves the way it does
Weeks are the unit people actually plan in. Deadlines, notice periods and rotas run in weeks, which is why a week count tends to be more useful than a raw day count once you are more than a fortnight out. Note that the two figures answer slightly different questions: "how many weeks" is full weeks only, while "weeks and days" keeps the remainder.
About Eta Aquariids 2027
The Eta Aquariids meteor shower peaks on the night of May 5, 2027 (May 5/6). Debris from Halley's Comet burning up above the southern hemisphere's autumn skies â fast, bright meteors with long trains.
Best practice for any meteor shower: dark sky, no telescope, eyes adjusted for 30 minutes, look halfway up toward the radiant's constellation. The counter above runs to the peak night; meteors are visible several nights either side.
