Lyrid Meteor Shower: Spectacular Show Lights Up the Sky Everywhere

La Habana, 22 Apr (Prensa Latina) The Lyrid, first star shower of this spring will reach its climax tonight when it could be seen with the necked eye.

Take a peek into the heavens tonight and get a glimpse of the Lyrid meteor shower, which this year coincides with the Earth Day. The stunning celestial display could see as many as 100 meteors pass by every hour.

The meteor shower will light up the night?s sky from April 16 to 25, but the best views will occur on the night of April 22-23 and it can be seen in all the world.

Leaving urban centers to escape light pollution will give stargazers the best views, but there is no need for any expensive telescopes or binoculars, as the show can be seen with ones own eyes.

The annual April Lyrids are only visible as the Earth passes through the tail of the Thatcher Comet towards the end of the month, with the bright streaks of lights being particles from that comet.

It is one of the oldest known astronomical events, which has been visible for more than 2,600 years.
