Lyrids Meteor Shower to Peak in New York on April 22
The Lyrids meteor shower, originating from debris of comet Thatcher, is set to illuminate the skies over New York. Active since April 14, the shower will reach its peak between April 21 and 22, as per the American Meteor Society. The Lyrids are known for producing bright fireballs when the debris burns up in Earth's atmosphere. The moon will be only 27% full on the peak night, minimizing lunar interference. However, weather conditions could affect visibility, making it crucial to monitor local forecasts. The best viewing times are between midnight and dawn, with the meteors radiating from the star Vega in the constellation Lyra.
