Please can you help me understand the names of the phases of the moon, thank you.
I have heard that there will be another meteor shower later on this week, do you know if this is true or not.
Thanks

Hi Rosa, for the phases of the moon, this entry explains better than I could in a conversation: A346673
Also here are the names of the full moons: A29779005
Yes there's the Draconids meteor shower, but it's not a significant one. You can see shooting stars almost any clear night, they don't have to belong to a particular shower.
More info here: A480520

Thank you GB for your help. I have not seen shooting stars for a long time as I live in Thurrock which suffers a lot of light pollution and other types of pollution that give the sky a permanent haze. The last I saw a shooting star was in the late late 2000 and that was when I was living in Ashington in Northumberland.

You are most welcome. I am so lucky I have a dark sky back garden but it takes a lot these days to get me outside in late evening/very early morning as my sleep is so precious. I'm still caring for my 97 y.o. mother and now my partner, and I am getting older as well as my eyesight deteriorating
