Lyrid Meteor Shower This Weekend
Posted on April 20, 2007 - Filed Under General
Get ready to view the Lyrid meteor shower this weekend!
On April 22 or 23rd, between the hours of midnight and 2am in the Northeast part of the sky. This is usually considered a small meter shower with 10 to 15 per hour, however it has peaked to 100 per hour in the past. This requires the weather to cooperate which doesn’t look like it will happen on the 22nd so the best chance we have in Tacoma is the 23rd.
Earth and Sky has a great list of 2007 meter showers, and how to watch them like a pro.
