Prepare For Britain's Skies To Light Up As Halley's Comet Returns In A Blaze Of Glory

Free up your calendars this October because one of the most spectacular visual sights in the UK is about to take place again and we have all the details on exactly when and where you keen stargazers can see the incredible event.

The Met Office has revealed that Halley’s comet has returned to the Earth’s skies and we're all pretty excited about it!

So what does this mean?
Well the comet is rather special as it has a long "tail", which means that us mere mortals can see it from down here on Earth.

Okay, it's not really a tail - it's the Orionid Meteor Shower that form the remnants of Halley's comet.

This beautiful spectacle of shooting stars flying across our skies means you stargazers can get your fill of intergalactic fun!
