Stargazers will be treated to a show this weekend when the Perseid meteor shower darts through the sky. Up to 150 shooting stars could streak through the night just days after the otherworldly display.
The meteor shower on Saturday (August 13) is right on time for UK viewers as new thunderstorm warnings have been issued by the Met Office. And as it happens, Saturn will be the brightest it is all year on Sunday.
They follow the last supermoon of the year which loomed large in the sky on Thursday evening. The Sturgeon supermoon is one of four supermoons - a phenomenon that happens when the full moon nearly coincides with the closest the moon's orbit gets to Earth.
