Astronomical event coincides with small amount of moonlight
It's said we'll have a good chance of witnessing the Perseid meteor shower in the skies above the Isle of Man this weekend.
The astronomical event takes place each year, when the Earth's orbit passes through the trail of the Swift-Tuttle comet, and the next few days will be the peak.
They're called the Perseids because they appear in the sky to come from the constellation of Perseus.
"I guarantee you'll see at least one or two meteors!"
Howard Parkin of Astromanx explains why we should get a particularly good show this year:
Public Health reports increase in flu-like illnesses
MHK fears former MHK's meat plant role creates 'transparency issue'
Bus drivers to hold off taking industrial action while talks continue
