PERSEID METEOR SHOWER ! Look out tonight, Saturday, around 10 pm onwards, and you may catch a 'falling star'. Peak time of this annual display is tonight. Usually the best observing time is the wee hours of the morning - but this year the Moon will be high in the sky by then - blotting out the fainter meteors. So conditions are not ideal, but if you have a clear dark sky and some patience, you should see some action. Big cities are of course not good. So I will be journeying to my excellent astrophotographer pal Jamie Cooper's place. This shower happens because every year around this time the Earth passes through the orbit of comet Swift-Tuttle - which has laid a trail of ejected small particles (essentially dust) which burn up as they hit our atmosphere at high speed. Good luck ! Bri
