The Leonid meteor shower is set to dazzle sky gazers across the UK throughout November.

The celestial spectacle takes place from now until 30 November with the peak taking place on the night of 17 November.

There could be the chance to spot up to 10-15 meteors per hour.

The shower is made up of dust particles from the Comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle, which leaves a trail of debris as it follows its path around the Sun.
