Over the next few nights (10th to 13th August), visibility permitting, we will have the chance to see some exceptional meteor showers. It is thought they will be most frequent on Monday night, when there could be between 50 and 100 meteors an hour. Now that is a challenge for our enthusiastic local photographers to get shooting star photos for the Blog.
Look out for shooting stars
