Following the Beaver supermoon, the UK will be treated to another dazzling display as the Leonids meteor shower is set to light up the sky.

The Leonids meteor shower tonight will be visible despite the glow of the full moon The Leonids meteor shower is about to reach its peak across the UK tonight just as the Beaver supermoon wanes. A dazzling display of fast, bright meteors, entering the atmosphere at 70 kilometres per second, will be present throughout November but will be at its peak tonight. The shower promises 10 meteors per hour as fragments of Comet Tempel-Tuttle enter the Earth’s atmosphere.

Patience will also be required to spot the meteor show. Meteor showers are usually most visible between midnight and predawn hours, and it could take as long as 10 minutes for the eyes to adjust.
