Lyrid Meteor Shower Peaks With 15–20 Meteors Per Hour This April

From the night of April 21 into the early hours of April 22, the Lyrids are expected to produce 15–20 meteors per hour under dark skies; the radiant lies in Lyra near Vega, with a crescent Moon causing little interference, so viewing after 10 pm away from light pollution is best. The shower originates from debris of comet C/1861 G1 Thatcher, and the calendar after it features Eta Aquarids, Perseids, Orionids, Leonids, and Geminids (the latter being the most intense).
