Looking Up Northeasterly/Easterly

The Lyrid meteor shower will peak over Thetis Island, on the night of April 21 into the early morning of April 22, 2025. To maximize your viewing chances, head outside after midnight on April 21st, towards the east. The radiant, the point in the sky from which the meteors appear to come, is in the constellation Lyra, near the bright star Vega. You should be able to count over 20 an hour after your eyes get used to the dark. This shower was last observed in 1982… Named after constellation Lyra, the Lyrids are one of the oldest recorded meteor showers—according to some historical Chinese texts, the shower was seen over 2,500 years ago. The fireballs in the meteor shower are created by debris from comet Thatcher, which takes about 415 years to orbit around the Sun. The comet is expected to be visible from Earth again in 2276.
