One of the busiest meteor showers of the year, the Perseids, will peak later this week

One of our favourite summer pastimes is stargazing.

We believe nothing beats, heading out into the great outdoors, with a blanket and a flask of hot chocolate.

There is something undoubtedly magical about observing the stars and the world above us.

Summer is also peak time for meteor showers, and one of the busiest, The Perseids, will be peaking soon.

The Perseid Meteor Shower is expected to peak in the UK on August 11th, just before a rare supermoon lights up the sky.

No special equipment is required to view this special phenomenon, just a clear sky away from artificial light.
