There is a chance stargazers could see a meteor shower in the skies tonight. 

The Delta Aquariids meteor shower may be visible across East Anglia on Tuesday evening. 

A meteor shower occurs when the Earth passes through a stream of debris left behind by a comet.

Between midnight and dawn offers skygazers the best chance to spot the shooting stars.

The meteors will be visible to the naked eye, in an area of clear dark sky with little to no light pollution.

The Delta Aquariids mark the start of the summer meteor season in the Northern Hemisphere.

A top tip for seeing the the meteor shower is to look above the southern horizon. 

The meteor shower peaked last night, but it will carry on nightly until around August 25.
