    Where in the sky should I look?
    The meteors appear to originate in the constellation of Perseus, hence the name 'Perseid'. At this time of year, in the early morning, look towards the northeast to see Perseus above Taurus the Bull. However, if you're not sure which way that is, you don't need to whip out a star map to work out which way you should be looking.

    "These shooting stars could appear anywhere, so it's best just to look directly up, and if you are lucky, you might see a shooting star every few minutes originating from the northeast," Baskill says.
