annual Perseid meteor shower

 Skygazers are preparing for another dazzling sky show, as the annual Perseid meteor shower reaches its peak.

 

No special equipment is required to watch the shower, which occurs when Earth passes through a stream of dusty debris from the comet Swift-Tuttle.

 

Astronomers are advised to lie on a blanket or a reclining chair to get the best view.
