Ooh, how will I know where to look? I'm near Manchester City Centre and with lights and aircraft and such generally it's not a proper clear dark sky. Hoping I can see it though!

[stokemaveric]

have a look on space.com jenna they tell you on there [much better than i can lol]...but i think its just look up in a northely direction to where saturn [the brightest star you can currently see] is...there should be about 15 meteors an hour and if you are lucky even a fireball or 2 according to them that is...

Thanks, Stoke. :)

Thanks stoke - sounds very exciting - will certainly look, you can bet your bottom dollar it will be cloudy though! :(

Thanks. A night stuck out in the garden, freezing cold, wondering whether the clouds will clear, looms!
