Meteors will come out to play tonight so keep your eyes glued on the sky.
The annual Perseid meteor shower has arrived and will be evident in the Johannesburg sky tonight.
A Perseid is any of a group of meteors that appear in the sky at about about 11 August.
Because a new moon is expected tonight, Perseids are due to fall at its thickest which means the sky will almost be completely dark.
So how should you watch out for meteor showers?
Check the weather. If the skies are clear, meteors will be easily observed.
Find a place far away from artificial lights.
