’Fireball’ meteor spotted across England thanks to clear skies

Stargazers across the UK could see a “fireball“ meteor on Sunday night thanks to clear skies. It apeared just before 10pm and caused a sonic boom across southern England. Every year our skies are illuminated by repeat meteor showers, from Geminids and Draconids to Perseids and Lyrids. If the weather conditions are favourable, and the Moon isn’t too bright, it is possible to see spectacular shooting stars.
