A meteor shower will be lighting up the sky this week and could be visible from Glasgow.
The streaks of light will shoot across the sky as early as Wednesday night.
Astronomers say that the prime moment to see the light show will be November 17-18 between midnight and dawn as long as the weather is settled.
The best displays can be seen every 33 years when the comet orbits the sun and draws closer to Earth so stargazers and space enthusiasts won't want to miss this one, reports Edinburgh Live.
Although they can be seen by the naked eye once you adjust to the dark and it is recommended to venture away from street lights and other sources of light pollution.
The best conditions to see a meteor shower is clear and dark but unfortunately Met Office is predicting Wednesday and Thursday will be cloudy in Glasgow.
The Royal Museums Greenwich Group, which includes the Royal Observatory, says that 'it's a waiting game' and advises stargazers to 'wrap up well' while they wait for the spectacular light show to appear.
While the prime time is on Wednesday and Thursday, the shower continues at a slower rate for several days after so if you miss it on Wednesday, you might still get a glimpse through the week.
The meteor shower that will see streaks of light is believed to come from a point in the constellation of Leo, therefore giving it the name Leonid.
As the Royal Greenwich Museums reports, the streaks are actually caused by particles in the sky and each piece can be as small as a grain of sand with the cometary debris entering our atmosphere at speeds of up to 70 kilometers per second.
