UP to 60 shooting stars an hour could be visible in the night sky over the UK this week as an annual stellar show takes place.
Stargazers will be able to see the Perseid meteors with the naked eye as the Earth makes its regular pass through the debris trail of a comet.
The Royal Astronomical Society said tonight into tomorrow is likely to be the best night to see the display – depending on the weather. The Perseids are grains of dust shed from the tail of Comet Swift-Tuttle burning up in the atmosphere.
Let us know if you see the shooting stars and send your pictures to citizen.news@ glosmedia.co.uk.
