After four months of supermoons, stargazers will be treated to another space spectacle - the Perseid meteor shower. This annual event takes place over three days, although this year it is harder to see due to August's supermoon.
The Perseid meteor shower is a cosmic event which is considered one of the highlights of the celestial calendar. Hundreds of shooting stars sparkle across the night sky in the biggest and brightest shower of the year.
Stargazers can catch a glimpse of the meteors on Friday, August 12 and Saturday, August 13. The best time to view will be on Saturday morning between 12am and 5:30am as this is when the shower peaks.
