"2024 Lyrid Meteor Shower: Where and When to See Bright Fireballs"

The Lyrid meteor shower, one of the world's oldest-known meteor showers, will peak from April 21 to April 22, offering skywatchers a chance to see fast and bright meteors originating from comet debris. Best viewed in the Northern Hemisphere during the dark hours, observers are advised to find an area away from city lights, lie flat on their back, and be patient as the show can last until dawn, with the potential to see as many as 100 meteors per hour.
