Greetings all;
As many of you may be aware, our planet is currently passing through (what remains) of a comet's tail. The event is known as the Perseid meteor shower.
This phenomenon (which usually lasts around a week to 10 days) has occurred (every year) for around the last 2000 years and is due to peak over the next couple of days.
As the weather is predicted to be hits (anag) for the coming week, tonight's (probably) the best time to observe same. If predictions are correct then it's possible that you'll see the meteors at the rate of (maybe) 1-2 a minute.
So if you're out and about (after 22:00 hours) tonight, try looking up at the sky - though not when crossing the road
as you may end up seeing stars instead of meteors
Enjoy
Si thee
