Perseid Meteor Shower will reach it's peak in the early hours of the morning (12th) in the UK and it will be the best display for years according to astronomers.

The Perseids (named so because they appear to come from the Perseus Constellation) is caused by pieces of debris from the tail of Comet Swift-Tuttle.

We (Myself, OH, Grandson 1 and Granddaughter in Law) are going up to The Brecon Beacons to watch tonight.

It is cloudy at present, so we may not be lucky, but we give it a go every year.
It will be the first time G.D-in-Law will have ever seen one, if we are successful.


If you plan to go star gazing tonight, make sure that you are dressed up warm (as it gets very, very cold) with lots of layers, a comfy deck chair, a blanket or two. Take a flask of tea and some sandwiches and enjoy yourselves! :-) :-) :-)
