"2024 Lyrid Meteor Shower Peaks: Where and When to Watch"

The Lyrid meteor showers will peak Sunday night after midnight through early dawn on Monday morning, with ten to twenty meteor showers per hour shooting across the sky, and some potentially intensifying to produce 100 meteors per hour. However, the full moon that night may outshine the view for stars. Additionally, the International Space Station will be traveling overhead before sunrise on Monday morning, appearing as a solid white dot moving slowly across the sky.

Get Ready for the Lyrid Meteor Shower: A Spectacular Show in Late April!

The annual Lyrid meteor shower will be active in mid-April and peaking in late April, with 10 to 20 meteors per hour expected to be visible in dark locations during the pre-dawn hours on April 23. The Eta Aquariids meteor shower in early May will be difficult to spot due to the full moon, but there is still a possibility of a significant outburst. The Perseid meteor shower is expected to put on a great show later this summer, peaking during the pre-dawn hours on Aug. 13 with as many as 90 meteors per hour visible in dark locations.
