The Perseids meteor shower, which began on July 17, will remain visible until August 24. During its peak, up to 150 meteors an hour can be spotted in the night sky, which the Royal Observatory Greenwich says is one of the "most dramatic" things to see in the summer's night sky.

A rare meteor shower is currently racing across the UK's night skies, with the celestial event set to peak tonight, July 30. The Southern Delta Aquariids and the Alpha Capricornids are setting the night's sky ablaze, named so as they appear to originate in the constellation Aquarius.

The Southern Delta Aquariid and the Alpha Capricornid showers will peak after midnight on July 29 and in the early hours of July 30.
