Peak: April 22
Comet of origin: C/1861 G1 Thatcher (Comet Thatcher)
Zenithal Hourly Rate (ZHR): 18
(The number of meteors a single observer would see in an hour of peak activity with a clear, dark sky and the radiant at the zenith).
The best time to observe the Lyrids is in the predawn hours when the shower’s radiant is at its highest in the sky.
However, be mindful that as the morning progresses, the radiant will continue to climb, but so will the approaching sunrise and the brightening skies, which will hinder visibility.
The shower is known for its luminous dust trains which can be observed for several seconds according to NASA.
The Lyrids are associated with Comet Thatcher, a long-period comet that orbits the sun every 415.5 years, it last reached its closest approach to the sun in 1861.
