With some clear nights expected for this week; you'll have some great opportunities to be dazzled by the night sky.
From tomorrow until Sunday the 16th, comet 46P/Wirtanen will make its closest orbit around Earth in around 70 years. At its closest approach, the comet will be 7.2 million miles away. It will be visible in the Southern sky, and you may be able to see it with just your eyes, but binoculars or a telescope are best.
As well, the Geminid Meteor Shower is taking place until Sunday the 16th, with a peak viewing period this Thursday the 13th going into the early hours of the next day.
The Geminid Meteor Shower is always looked forward to as you can potentially see around 120 meteors per hour if you're watching.
