Catch the Lyrid meteor shower and celestial dance this weekend.

On April 22, stargazers can witness the moon and Venus appearing to collide amid a meteor shower, while set against the backdrop of the Pleiades star cluster. The Lyrid meteor shower will peak on Saturday evening to Sunday morning, with as many as 18 meteor streaks per hour visible. The moon and Venus have been inching toward the point where they appear closest to each other in Earth's sky, known as a conjunction. The spectacle can be seen without equipment, but binoculars will provide more detail.
