Tonight, the Delta Aquariids meteor shower will dazzle the UK skies as Earth passes through debris from Comet 96P/Machholz. The meteor shower, which began on July 12, peaks tonight and will continue until August 25. As the comet's debris burns up in Earth's atmosphere, bright trails will streak across the sky. For the best viewing experience, find a dark spot away from city lights and watch between midnight and 2 a.m. Despite some cloud cover, clear skies are expected over much of the UK.
