☄️ A celestial show: The Lyrids meteor shower peaks tomorrow
At dawn on April 22, the night sky will transform into a stage for a breathtaking "parade of falling stars." As Earth passes through the debris trail of Comet Thatcher, it marks the culmination of the annual Lyrids meteor shower.
Astronomers predict that in the pre-dawn hours, when the sky is at its darkest, viewers can see up to 18 bright meteors per hour. Radiating from the constellation Lyra, the Lyrids are famous for their spectacular flashes and the long, glowing trails they leave across the atmosphere.
To fully enjoy this spectacle, it is best to find an open area far from city lights. Give your eyes about 20 minutes to adjust to the darkness and prepare to witness the beauty of the cosmos. This rare moment is a true gift for photographers and nature enthusiasts alike.
Enjoy the magic of the night sky!
