The Perseid Meteor Shower is at it's peak. Last night and tonight could see up to 80 meteors an hour according to NASA.
Debris from the comet Swift-Tuttle, which passes through our solar system every 133 years, can be seen as Earth passes through it.
I was visiting friends last night but I kept an eye on the skies as I headed home. I saw nothing. It was a lovely clear night but if I'm honest I didn't give it long enough. Will have another go tonight.
