Lyrid Meteor Shower

It’s time for the Lyrids again, the meteor shower that originates from the tail of a comet that circles the sun once every 415 years.

The comet may be a rare sight, but Earth passes through debris from its orbit every year in late April. This year, the medium-bright meteors that occur when the debris streaks through the atmosphere will be visible between April 16 and April 30 in the Northern Hemisphere.
