Lyrid Meteor Shower Peaks This Week, Prepare to Watch!
The April Lyrids meteor shower, an ancient and dependable meteor display, will be visible this weekend. During the peak of the Lyrid meteor shower, a solitary observer can spot around 10 to 20 meteors every hour. The Lyrids can produce stunningly bright meteors, and approximately 20-25% of them leave behind persistent trains. To distinguish a Lyrid meteor from others spotted during the same period, one can examine its trail, which points back to the vicinity of the bright blue-white star, Vega.
