Meteor shower lights up Welsh skies
Stargazers in Wales were delighted by the "natural firework display" of the Perseids meteor shower last night.
Meteors - often known as shooting stars - appeared as a result of material falling from the tail of Comet Swift-Tuttle.
The Perseids meteor shower is an annual event, between mid-July and mid-August, but last night was expected to be particularly good, with as many as 60 meteors an hour visible to the naked eye.
Do you have a photograph of the Perseids meteor show, as seen from Wales, last night?
