Meteors galore!

[JuneOsborne]

Just been out stargazing to see if we can see any of the meteors and there's so many! I have never seen one before, but in 40 minutes I've seen a dozen!

If you're up, too hot and fed up, get out and look up. Really puts a lot of stuff in perspective. Although, that might be the wine.

Also been out too and saw 8 in about 30mins. Amazing.

Whereabouts are you to see them?

Are you using binos or anything?

No! Naked eye. Super outing but less than 4 miles from Birmingham city centre. Honestly amazing.

Currently in Peterborough but fairly rural part I think so not much light. I’ve seen them this good in Somerset once but tonight was amazing. No binoculars

I saw one

My neightbours have got their security night on, which makes it difficult. Hoping they'll turn it off,.but now I'm not sure if they keep it on all night . I've never really noticed it before.

I've just seen one. Surrey

Thank you for this, just seen a couple while leaning out of the bedroom window. The moon is too bright at the back of the house but I can see them in the sky above the bedroom.

On holiday in Somerset and I just saw the biggest and clearest one I've ever seen. It was brilliant.

We've no light pollution at all, but the moon is so bright that it's hard to see the stars, never mind the meteor shower.

Ah, the super moon, aka the sturgeon moon. It's a sight to behold.

The sky is clear here and I can see lots of stars but no meteors so far. I'm in West Yorkshire up by the moors.

Which direction are you looking?

I'm in Rotherham seen quite a few, really bright too!

I have no idea! Am I supposed to look in a certain direction?

North East is supposed to be best

Aww, I'm in NE Scotland on the coast. We have a low level haar (sea-mist) over head so all I can see is a strange pulsing light being reflected by the haar!
Gutted can't see meteors, but it is what it is!

Here you go! Use compass on phone to find direction

Thank you!

I've been out for the last 3 nights and saw two yesterday but only one tonight!

We're at the caravan in a very rural area with no light pollution and can see thousands of stars so am a bit gutted to see hardly any meteors.

Have you tried lying on a blanket? Look up and shift your gaze like you're looking at a magic eye picture.
I saw the Perseids last year this way. I'm at work tonight and there's too much light pollution.

Ooooh in South London zone 3 and even here we saw 4 in the last 50 minutes. Nice and cool too (bliss) on the sunbeds in the back garden with a glass of wine. Yay I have never actually seen a shooting star before so quite exciting!!

Really clear here tonight and can see lots of stars but no meteors unfortunately.

Seen quite a few maybe in 20 mins out in our back garden ( not helpful on direction - looking upwards?!). Very small patch of sky. Moon also impressive. Suburbs of northern city. A few bats floating around as well.

I've seen a few, lots of satellites, a bat, and my cat charging crazily around. The moon is so bright tonight!
