Lyrids Meteor Showers-- Coming Soon!

April 13, 2021
Oldest meteor showers- coming soon!

April 15 - (Peak) Apr 21–22, 2021
"The Lyrids are known for their fast and bright meteors, though not as fast or as plentiful as the famous Perseids in August, Lyrids can surprise watchers with as many as 100 meteors seen per hour. Sightings of these heavier showers occurred in 1803 (Virginia), 1922 (Greece), 1945 (Japan), and 1982 (U.S.). In general, 10-20 Lyrid meteors can be seen per hour during their peak."
