The annual Lyrid meteor shower will light up the night sky this week, with its peak in the predawn hours on Thursday.
Though the shooting stars can appear anywhere in the sky, curious stargazers can look to the meteors' namesake constellation Lyra -- the harp -- for reference as Lyrid meteors appear to radiate from near the bright star Vega, EarthSky reported on Tuesday. The American Meteor Society shows that the moon will be around 68% full on Thursday, possibly impacting visibility.More Related News
