Skywatchers in the UK are getting ready for one of the most exciting displays of shooting stars they are likely to see all year.
The annual Perseid meteor shower reaches its peak this evening and could fill the night sky with hundreds of streaks of light.
The phenomenon occurs when the Earth passes through a stream debris from the comet Swift-Tuttle.
Forecasters say rain and cloud could obscure the spectacle for people in southern areas. The best views will be in the Midlands, the north of England and the northwest of Scotland.
