joining me now is dr megan argo, an astro physicist and senior lecturer at the university of lancashire i didn't see very many. it was quite cloudy where i did see too many and a lot of my pollution. but the thing is, you're you can to 200 per hour but they tend to be quite small and they tend to be at the fainter and will be expected from shooting stars and the less you live somewhere we can get to this away from my pollution in the city, you're likely to see maybe that was the case for me, unfortunately. i5 to see maybe that was the case for me, unfortunately. is a to see maybe that was the case for me, unfortunately.— to see maybe that was the case for me, unfortunately. is a shame. for an one me, unfortunately. is a shame. for anyone who — me, unfortunately. is a shame. for anyone who doesn't _ me, unfortunately. is a shame. for anyone who doesn't know, - me, unfortunately. is a shame. for anyone who doesn't know, tell - me, unfortunately. is a shame. for anyone who doesn't know, tell us l anyone who doesn't know, tell us a bit more about it. what is it and why exactly does it happe
