The Lyrid Meteors - 16th to 25th April

The Lyrid meteor shower streams from a point in the constellation Lyra
near Vega - a brilliant blue-white star about three times wider than
our Sun and 25 light years away. The meteor shower occurs due to the
Earth passing through a trail of debris left by comet Thatcher (C/1861
G1). The Lyrids are typically visible between 16th and 25th April with
a maximum occuring during April 22nd (Solar Longitude=33°32'), from an
average radiant of RA=272°, DECL=+33 deg. Although the maximum ZHR is
about 10, there have been instances during the last 200 years when
rates were near or over 100 per hour so watch out!
