This Weekend's Meteor Shower
The problem with meteor showers is that they happen in the middle of the night, and 71.5% of the time, peak on 'school nights'. This one is no different, but you could still see a lot.
The annual Perseids meteor shower peaks on Monday morning at 2 a.m., and could be one of the best in years because there will be no moon to interfere.
But as the shower became active on the 23rd of July, a decent number of shooting stars should also be visible on Saturday night/Sunday morning, if the sky is clear.
The meteoroids will be visible in the Eastern Sky, and at their peak, you could see approximately one per minute.
On the day before and the day after, it could be one every other minute.
Every minute, every other minute. Either way, that's a lot of wishes!
But remember, to get maximum meteors you'll need to be away from city lights, but it's probably worth looking out the window of your London home just in case...
