Lyrid Meteor Shower Continues to Illuminate Michigan Skies Through April 25
The Lyrid meteor shower, one of the oldest recorded meteor showers, is currently visible in Southeast Michigan. The shower began on April 16 and will continue until April 25, with its peak occurring on the night of April 21 into the early hours of April 22. During peak times, observers can typically see between 10 and 20 meteors per hour. The Lyrids are known for their bright and fast meteors, which are best viewed during the predawn hours away from city lights. As the peak has passed, the frequency of visible meteors may decrease, but they remain observable. Clear skies are expected in Southeast Michigan, although some cloud cover and rain are anticipated later in the week.
