LOOK into the sky tonight and you might witness a show as spectacular as this caught on camera by Malvern-based photographer Mihály Tomka.

He witnessed this fabulous shower of meteors over the Malvern Hills last night.

The Lyrids scatter across the Earth's atmosphere every April, and this year they should be visible until the 25th.

Astronomers say 10 and 20 meteors are normally visible every hour, but this could rise to about 100 an hour.

Stargazers in rural areas, away from streetlights, will have the best view.

There is no need for telescopes or binoculars, as the show can be seen with the naked eye.

The so-called April Lyrids are only visible as the Earth passes through the tail of the Thatcher Comet towards the end of the month. The bright streaks of lights are particles from the comet.

It is one of the oldest known astronomical events, and has been noted for more than 2,600 years.

In 1982, stargazers saw up to 90 meteors passing every hour.
