Halleys Comet! The most famous interloper of them all is the parent comet of the Eta Aquarid Meteor Shower.
A good display is expected from this shower as we head into the night.
Under our wonderful dark skies, we can expect to see as many as 30 - 40 meteors per hour as the tiny dust grains left behind by Halley's comet interact with our atmosphere as a flash of light!
As well as the dazzling show overhead we will utilise our array of telescopes to view the universe in stunning resolution.
Wrap up warm and no furry friends - sorry
