Ireland's skies will light up tonight due to an annual meteor shower.
The celestial event always appears above the northern hemisphere in late April or early May - with tonight expected to be the best night for viewing.
Stargazers will be able to see between 10 and 20 stars per hour and the meteor shower is expected to be the most visible around midnight.
The event is a result of the famous Halley's comet's orbit colliding with the Earth's atmosphere - leading to the debris.
Met Eireann are forecasting clear spells and with some patchy showers so you could get a chance to see some of the shooting starts.
Clear skies for many tonight to try see the Eta Aquariids meteor shower, cloud in Southern areas though could spoil the view. A hard frost under clear skies too as it drops to -3c pic.twitter.com/bvR3N2W5bP
