"2024 Lyrid Meteor Shower: Peak Viewing Tips and Best Places to Watch"
TL;DR
The annual Lyrid meteor shower is currently underway, peaking Sunday into Monday with an expected 10 to 20 meteors per hour. To observe the event, look to the northeast and maintain focus on the same spot in the sky, although the nearly full moon may hinder visibility. Meteor showers originate from comet debris and can be seen without special equipment, with the next major shower being the Eta Aquarids in early May.
