A spectacular meteor shower that could allow stargazers in North East Lincolnshire the chance to see up to 100 shooting stars per hour has begun this weekend.
The annual week-long Geminid meteor shower, also known as the Geminids, takes place every December as the Earth passes through a debris trail from an asteroid called 3200 Phaethon.
Bits of the debris vapourise in the atmosphere causing colourful displays that can be seen near to the constellation Gemini, which gives the shower its name.
It is expected to peak on December 13 and 14, with the best viewing times around 10pm to 3am on clear nights.
The good news is stargazers should be able to see the shower from anywhere in the area with no need for binoculars or a telescope, although areas without much light pollution tend to be the best.
