It’s time to look up at the night sky and enjoy watching shooting stars.
The annual Perseid meteor shower has begun. Humans have been watching this shower for over two thousand years as the Earth passes through the orbit of a comet called Swift-Tuttle.
The Swift-Tuttle comet only passes by Earth every 133 years. It will be a long time before it passes again, as it made its last pass in 1992.
This year's celestial show is due to peak around August 12th and 13th. And Wicker & Wilde found out that the full moon on the 11th will make it difficult to see the celestial show so make sure to try to see it before the peak night.
