...yes have a look north-east at the sky as tonight the Perseid meteor shower will reach its peak inwhich you should see a meteor (shooting star) every minute and after midnight you will see Mars as a tiny red dot in the east.
Heres what it should look like:

The skys are going to be rather clear tonight so you'll get a good view.
I could try getting some pictures but I can't really guarantee they'll be good.

Not at all, it's just the Earth travelling through a belt of meteors - it does it every year - more than once!

I have 5 minutes of footage of me zooming in on far out ones.
I saw 4-5 close up ones zooming fast, but they were too fast to catch on camera.
I'll upload to youtube l8rz
