Watch the Lyrid Meteor Shower Tonight

Tonight presents an opportunity to view the Lyrid meteor shower and can be best viewed in the early hours of Sunday morning. How about you state awoke and watch nature take its cause.

The last opportunity to see the shower was in January but this weekend’s meteor shower will radiate from the east-northeast near the constellation of Lyra, which has given its name to the shower. There could be as many as 20 meteors per hour darting across the sky.

No binoculars or telescopes are needed; the meteors will be visible streaking across all parts of the sky, provided there is no cloud cover.

Microscopic in size, the Lyrids are the tiny particle remnants of comet debris, burning up in the atmosphere at 100,000 mph

Some of the meteors may be extremely bright, briefly lighting up the whole sky like a fireball.
