April’s lyrid meteor shower to streak across moonless sky for a perfect stargazing show

So, get ready for an astronomical treat this April! The Lyrid meteor shower is set to dazzle us with up to 15 shooting stars per hour, all against a moonless sky. This year, the peak night falls on April 22/23, making it a fantastic opportunity for stargazers to witness these stunning fireballs. And here's the thing: finding the constellation Lyra, where these meteors seem to originate, is as easy as spotting the bright star Vega. It's a perfect excuse to head out to a dark sky area and soak in the beauty of the cosmos!
