The annual Perseid meteor shower is approaching its peak overnight from Monday 12 August to Tuesday 13 August, with some also spotting the northern lights.

Active from the middle of July and considered one of the best meteor showers of the year, the Perseids are best viewed in the northern hemisphere.

If you have spotted the Perseid meteor shower this year, we would like to hear from you. Where and when did you see them? How did they make you feel?
