Quadrantids meteor shower: How to see the spectacular meteor shower from the UK TOMORROW

Even with this in mind, astronomers at the Royal Observatory Greenwich have warned meteor spotting is an exercise in patience.

The Observatory said: “Hunting for meteors, like the rest of astronomy, is a waiting game, so it’s best to bring a comfy chair to sit on and to wrap up warm as you could be outside for a while.

“They can be seen with the naked eye so there’s no need for binoculars or a telescope, though you will need to allow your eyes to adjust to the dark.”

For the best chance of seeing the Quadrantids, you will need to find a dark, quiet and ideally secluded area far from sources of light.

Lamps, cars and buildings all risk washing out the skies with light on a night when you should be on the lookout for pitch black darkness.
