The first meteor shower of spring, known as the Lyrid meteor shower, will present a night skywatching show beginning on Sunday evening and peaking on Wednesday night.

There hasn't been a meteor shower to light up the sky since early January, and this one will be visible around the globe. And unlike 2019, the waning moon will allow a better view of these bright meteors. Late evening and early morning hours based on your location, between midnight and 4 a.m to 5 a.m. local time, may be the best time to see shooting stars, or meteors that burn up in our atmosphere, according to the American Meteor Society.

On Wednesday night during the peak of the shower, about ten meteors will be visible per hour. The shower occurs this time each year when Earth's orbit crosses paths with that of Comet Thatcher. The comet loses pieces of itself that go flying into our upper atmosphere at 110,000 miles per hour. Stuck at home? Look to the skiesLyrid gets its name from the Lyra constellation.
