New moons typically can’t be seen, giving the chance for meteors to be seen streaking across the night sky.
According to Royal Museums Greenwich, the shooting stars will appear multi-coloured – mostly white but with some yellow, red, green or even blue.
The reason for such a festive display is due to the presence of metals such as sodium and calcium, which appear in trace amounts.
These metals are what make the colours in fireworks.
Meteors are pieces of debris which enter Earth’s atmosphere up to 70 kilometres per second (156,586 mph).
