Dr John Mason of the South Downs Planetarium helps us make the most of the dark skies around Petersfield this month.

John explains how the peak of the Perseid meteor shower and a helpful new moon coincide this month to give us what could be a remarkable show, but only if we protect our precious dark skies.
