This month the most famous meteor shower — the Perseids — will peak on the evening of August 12

The expedition team hopes more meteorites can be found — the largest ever discovered meteorite was in Namibia and had 6 tonnes chipped from it by vandals

The Eta Aquariid meteor shower is expected to peak on the night of May 5, with up to 50 meteors per hour, and will be visible until the early morning of May 6
