Lyrid Meteor Shower Peaking Soon

Observers can expect to see between 10 and 20 meteors per hour during the peak, provided they are away from city lights.

This year's show is particularly special as it coincides with the start of the Eta Aquariids shower, creating a 'double dazzle' in the night sky.

NASA recommends going outside after midnight and looking toward the constellation Lyra for the best experience.

While the moon's brightness may interfere with some visibility, the Lyrids are known for producing bright fireballs that remain visible for several seconds.
