Here in the UK, the constellation will feature fairly high in the northeast skies all night.
According to Dr Bloomer, the meteors will crash into the atmosphere at breakneck speeds and disintegrate before reaching the ground.
When this happens, you are going to see dozens of bright streaks cutting across the sky in the blink of an eye.
The astronomer said: “They’re very odd-looking things, I suppose because suddenly you just get this streak of light.
“A shooting star is a great name for it because it’s not overwhelmingly bright, it’s a little streaky.
“You tell yourself that it’s clearly an object, you can see that there’s movement there and it sort of flares up and it disappears.
“So it seems like a star has sort of come to existence.”
