Astronomers are in for a treat this week - as the celestial spectacle Perseids meteor shower will be visible from the UK.
The shower gets its name from the commit Perseids and appears every year around August time.
But while the sparkling affair arrives like annual clockwork, it looks set to be especially remarkable this year, as the sky will be particularly dark with the Moon is in its waxing crescent phase.
The shower will be visible for star gazers across the country; it's so bright that even those in light polluted cities should catch a glimpse.
What time can I see the meteor shower?

The best of the shower will come between midnight and 5.30 am on Thursday 12 and Friday 13 August, however it will also be visible before and after these dates - it just won't be very bright.
Seeing the shower will not require any special equipment and you wont need a telescope like you would for a far-off planet or star, but it does require some pre-planning and patience.
Firstly, you need to find the right spot in the sky - try and find the area with the least light pollution away from bright lights. Wrap up warm and get settled.
Once your eyes have adjusted to the darkness and you've waited for a little while, you should be able to spot the shower in all its glory.

Theres a slim but unforeseeable chance that you wont be able to see the stars for bad weather, so keep your eyes peeled for clouds that could impair your vision.
When you catch a shooting star, trace it back to where it came from; if it’s from Perseus commit, then it’s part of the shower, and there might be other shooting stars visible overnight.
