It’s that time of year again. The annual Perseid meteor shower will peak over the weekend, with those gazing to the heavens may get the opportunity to spot scores of shooting stars every hour.

Wherever you are in the world, if you are lucky enough to spot any shooting stars we’d love to see your photos.
