Nothing Indeed!

Last night we went outside at about 11pm to see the Perseid meteor shower:

The Perseid meteor shower is caused by debris from the comet Swift-Tuttle.

Every 133 years, the huge comet swings through the inner part of our Solar System and leaves behind a trail of dust and gravel.

When Earth passes through the debris, specks hit our atmosphere at 140,000mph and disintegrate in flashes of light.

We saw about 5/6 shooting stars in the 10-15 minutes we were out. They went so fast that as soon as you saw one it was gone. I would have loved to have got some photos but they were far too fast, a long exposure might have worked but I only had my compact camera with me :(
