TL;DR

The Lyrid meteor shower runs April 16–25, 2026, peaking in the predawn hours of April 22. Expect about 15–20 meteors per hour (with rare outbursts) from debris of Comet Thatcher (C/1861 G1 Thatcher). The radiant is in Lyra near the Hercules–Lyra border, best viewed from a dark sky before dawn as the Moon sets after midnight. No special equipment is needed—just look up and enjoy.
