Thank you, I looked before sleeping early this morning but there were clouds. I remember seeing Halley’s comet quite clearly.

planets could be visible before the sun gets out of bed is the best time

The Lyrid meteor shower, 21st/22nd April before the moon rises is the best time

Ooooo thank you for the info.

Last year I googled when the ISS would be over my area, outside I would go looking up to the night sky and I have to say it was very moving for me, it was WEIRD to see something that was positioned still in space shoot past which really brought it home that it was us, planet earth that was turning.

She who knows zilch about space !! So I will certainly look out for the shooting ? ? ?..
