The annual Leonids meteor shower should hit a peak tonight from 10pm. With 10-15 meteors per hour.

And it's a clear night so far in South Lincs :thumbs: :thumb: :clap:

More info can be found here BBC News & Earth Sky. org

Was out doing some motorway trails with my son last night, saw a beauty over Bramley near rotherham at about 7.50pm lasted for a good distance but not long enough for my son to see it, for a youngster, his reactions aint that quick
