Hundreds of meteors will fall over Harrogate skies tonight.
Around 60 to 100 meteors will fall from the sky every hour, but stargazers may struggle with finding somewhere clear to view them because of predicted thunderstorms.
The event is called the Perseid meteor shower and happens every year.
It is expected to be most visible in the early hours of tomorrow morning between midnight and 5am.
Tristan Campbell, an astrophotographer from Harrogate said:
“The weather doesn’t currently look as though it’s going to be clear until at least 1am and unfortunately the moon rises around then which makes the meteors harder to see.”

Meteors, more commonly known as shooting stars, are formed as debris falls from the tail of a comet. Since July 14, earth has been ploughing through particles left behind from the Swift-Tuttle comet, which turn into bright falling specks.
As Perseid meteors are so bright, Tristan said if the skies remain clear they will be visible from most gardens, although a better location would be somewhere dark with little light pollution. Tristan’s personal favourite spot to shoot is in Crimple Valley.
He said:
“If I’m feeling more adventurous I’ll head out to Nidderdale for much darker skies.”
The shower can be seen across the whole of the UK and is expected to continue until August 24. More information can be found on the Royal Museums Greenwich website.
