Stargazers should be able to see between 10 and 15 meteors per hour streaking across the sky at the peak time.

In the coming days, there will be an exciting reason to gaze up at the sky: the Lyrids meteor shower. Formed out of remaining particles from Comet Thatcher, the Lyrids meteor shower is visible every April as Earth passes through the trail of debris. This spring, it’s taking place from April 17 to 26.
