A spectacular rainbow was seen over London on the evening of July 1at. I managed to get this picture in a street behind Oxford street using my phone. The one time I ignored my own advice to always carry a camera. The picture could have been so much better.
As is often the case here in the UK we had cloudy skies at the time of the Perseid meteor peak on the night of 11/12 August. I stayed up till 12.30 am but saw nothing. The following night was clear so my son and I lay out on our trampoline at about 10.00 pm. In 20 minutes we saw 5 Perseids and one sporadic. All were bright and left a trail. There's lots of light pollution where we live so we did well. My son was very excited.
