RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Apparently from what I've read, the meteor showers will be on from mid July through to mid August, I'm wondering if anyone knows if it will be visible in the UK and if anyone has any luck seeing them?

They typically peak a couple of weeks from now, so if you haven't seen them yet, keep at it. I haven't tried yet myself.

Yeah I'll be trying tonight and see if there is any, cheers. Happy meteor shower sighting! if any 😅

You might have a better chance of seeing them in areas with lower light pollution levels: https://gostargazing.co.uk/light-pollution-map/

Hopefully by the time August 12 rolls by it should be a clear sky kinda night 🤞🏽I've found a few places I could think of going, would be better also if someone hosts a stargazing event
