People could see two shooting stars every minute in skies over the South East tonight.
The Geminid Meteor Shower will peak tonight between 3 am and 7 am.
The shower is renowned among stargazers for its brightness with Bill Cooke of NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office saying people can expect "green-coloured fireballs" in the sky tonight.
David Moore of Astronomy Ireland is appealing for people to record and submit the shooting stars they see.
