Fingers crossed for a clear sky.
Skygazers are set to catch a glimpse of celestial fireworks on Saturday night as the Earth passes through a cloud of cometary dust.
Named after the constellation of Draco the dragon, the Draconids take place every year and are one of the two meteor showers to light up the skies in October. Tania de Sales Marques, an astronomer at the Royal Observatory Greenwich, told the PA news agency: “The Draconids are a short-lived meteor shower that is active from 6-10 October and is expected to peak at around 2pm UK time with a maximum rate of 10 meteors per hour.
The meteor shower will be visible with the naked eye, but skygazers will need to let their eyes adjust to the darkness.
