Catch sight of the Lyrids meteor shower this weekend
After no major annual meteor showers for months, the Lyrids are here to end the drought. Known as one of the oldest-recorded meteor showers, the Lyrids are expected to produce 10 to 15 meteors per hour for three nights centered around its peak of 9:06 p.m. ET on Saturday, according to EarthSky. The Lyrids have been making their appearance in the sky since April 15 and will hang around until April 29, but their peak is relatively narrow compared with the famous summer Perseids and other showers.
How to see a meteor The Lyrids may not be the most active of the annual showers. But compared with the hundreds of other meteor showers scientists discovered using professional equipment, Vereš noted, this shower can offer a few meteors per hour bright enough for a casual observer to see. If you are looking to see one of these meteors, it is best to go outside at a time where its radiant Lyra, the constellation in which the meteors appear to originate from, will be above the horizon.
