Sky Show Tonight: Lyrids Kick Off Meteor Season

John Roach

April 21, 2004

Beginning late tonight and stretching into the predawn hours of Thursday morning, more than 20 meteors an hour will streak across the sky, bringing a burst of spring joy to meteor shower enthusiasts.
Known as the Lyrids, the shower appears to emanate from a point in the sky, or radiant, just west of the constellation Lyra, which contains the bright star Vega. (Lyra is found near the more familiar constellation Cygnus, also known as the Northern Cross.) (See star chart.)

In nearly all the world's time zones, the Lyrids' radiant rises above the horizon at around 11 p.m. If the skies are clear and dark, sky watchers should begin to see a steady stream of shooting stars about an hour later, as Earth turns into the meteor stream, according to astronomers.
