The year's biggest display of meteors peaks tonight when the Earth sweeps through the dust trail left by the Swift-Tuttle comet in 1992. Up to 120 flashes an hour can be expected after sunset, barring clouds, with the north-east the best place to look because the sky will be darkest.
The display should be best between 1am and 4am - although the bright and almost full moon will outshine some falling stars - and around 10 o'clock tonight while the moon is low. Yorkshire astronomers have been watching from Topham's Column, at Wold Newton, where a meteorite landed in 1795.
ah...well...this is what I read from a f*** website which made me stare @ the sky the whole night...landed up watching stars...moon...a bunch of planes which I misinterpreted as meteors.......oh mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!
