The Lyrids meteor shower, a magnificent cosmic event, will be observable from April 15 to April 30, with its peak occurring on the night of April 21-22. This astronomical phenomenon is generated by debris from the comet Thatcher, emerging from the constellation Lyra. While it promises stunning visuals for sky-gazers, observers in the Northern Hemisphere may face challenges due to a 40 percent full moon that could obscure visibility. Using data from the Global Meteor Network can help in predicting the best viewing times as fireball activity levels increase.
The Lyrids meteor shower, peaking on April 21-22, is best viewed from the Northern Hemisphere, influenced by debris from comet Thatcher.
Viewers may find it challenging to see this year's Lyrids due to the moon being 40 percent full during the peak activity.
