WASHINGTON 鈥斅燤other Nature is putting on quite the show Wednesday night聽for Earth Day, and millions can聽get a clear view of the Lyrid meteor shower, provided they’re away from bright city lights.
Around 11 p.m. on April 22, just before Earth Day comes to an end, 小萝莉影视’s Space Guy Greg Redfern says, look up 鈥� east-northeast, specifically.
“If you look in that general area starting about 11 or so, or a few hours before dawn,聽 you should see some meteors out of that section of the sky,” Redfern says.
The annual shower usually produces 10 to 12 visible meteors an hour, but is predicting 10 to 20 an hour for this year’s shower.
“The shower can produce fireballs, which is a technical term for something that is about as bright as Venus. So it’s worth seeing,” he says.
You can also catch the shower indoors by watching of the meteor shower.
