Perseids meteor shower

[GloriaSmud]

This meteor shower happens every year and early tomorrow morning is its peak. Bit more info here and whereabouts in the sky to look, here.

So let's hope for some clear skies!

WhoKnows ~ I thought we'd see more as but I was happy with the 3 I did see.

Looks like Skywatchers enjoyed a good display in some parts of the country.

Another clear night here so hopefully another chance to see these.

Have I any chance in the north? If so what time roughly please?

Clear here too, just got a few jobs to do then I'm heading out again.

They were saying on the BBC lunchtime forecast that the next few nights are looking fairly cloud free, so everyone should have a good chance of seeing some. As for timing, DH and I have just been out and spotted a shooting star (DH thinks he saw another two. I didn't see them ~ was probably blinking or looking at the wrong bit of sky at the time!)

Eastern and central eastern areas of england are looking good. Western side is a bit more hit and miss.

I'm in the middle

How is it Looking right now?

Very clear, went out for about 20 mins and saw 2 faint ones, plus a satellite. Space station is due at 11.48 tonight, but only for a minute.

Ds and I have just spent a happy hour lying on the trampoline with the dog. It's very clear here and the bottom of our garden is nice and dark.

We saw 2 big ones and about 5 little. Very happy with that.
