THE Perseid meteor shower and the Northern Lights have been photographed in all their glory over Andover.
Aurora Borealis has been seen in Andover yet again this year, and our camera club members have shared photos from across the town.
This latest sighting coincides with the Perseid meteor shower, which is visible between mid-July to August every year.
This year, it was predicted to be the most visible from August 11 to 13.

Photographers Stuart Lark, Derek Reedman and Pete Duck shared a selection of photos in the Andover Advertiser Camera Club on Facebook.
The Perseids can be spotted from across the globe, named after the constellation in the northern sky 'Perseus', which gets its name from the Ancient Greek hero.
Meteors are caused when comets get close to the sun, as they heat up and pieces break off. The debris can then enter the Earth's path around the Sun, entering our atmosphere at high speeds.
The Perseid shower is closely associated with the Swift-Tuttle comet, so-called after astronomers Lewis Swift and Horace Tuttle, who discovered a new comet which coincided with the path of the Perseid meteors.
According to the Royal Museums Greenwich, the best time to spot the showers is between midnight and 5.30am.
To increase your chances, the organisation also advises that people find a location with a low amount of light pollution by heading to the countryside and picking somewhere away from trees and buildings for a clear look at the sky.
