Lyrid Meteor Shower Peaks This Week | JQJO

The Lyrid meteor shower will peak on the night of April 22nd, offering a spectacular celestial display. Skywatchers can expect to see 15-20 meteors per hour, with a potential for outbursts of up to 100 meteors. The best viewing time is between midnight and dawn, under dark skies, away from the moon's light. Minimal moonlight this year provides excellent viewing conditions. NASA recommends finding a dark location with an unobstructed view for optimal viewing.
