Stargazers in Sussex will be able to see a meteor shower not to be repeated for a century, according to experts.

It will seem to come from the constellation of Leo in the early hours of November 18 or 19.

Mike Feist, interpretative officer at Foredown Tower, Portslade, said: "This is probably the last chance to see a good show like this in our lifetime, as the next one may not be for almost 100 years.

"Meteors should be visible in all parts of the sky.

"Best views will be had away from the direct glow of artificial light and the light of the moon."

Mr Feist suggests a viewing position with the moon hidden behind a building.

He said the best time to look at the meteor shower may be on November 19 at 4am.
