Anyone who wants to spot a shooting star in 2023 may have a good chance tonight, as a spectacular meteor shower will be reaching its peak.
The Quadrantid meteor shower is the very first of the year and features hundreds of small blue meteors shooting across the night sky in a brief but powerful solar display.
It began in late December but will be reaching its strongest point in the UK tonight, with the most beautiful display likely to appear in the early hours after midnight on January 4.
