The Lyrid meteor shower returns this weekend.
The showers are active April 15-29, with the peak coming April 21 and 22. At its peak, the showers should produce around 18 meteors per hour.
The meteors will appear to radiate from the constellation Lyra. Lyra rises in the east about an hour or two after sunrise in the Northern Hemisphere. It is directly overhead in the early morning hours in April.
The meteor shower itself was first observed in 687 BC in China.
The Lyrids are among several top meteor showers visible every year, like the Perseids in August and the Leonids in November.
Grab a drink and let’s check out the animals.
