Lyrid meteor shower
The US Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) said the Lyrids meteor shower has average brightness, but there will be times when it will be extremely bright and radiate like visible rain for a few seconds.
The average Lyrid shower produces 15 to 20 meteors per hour, however some years have also recorded its increased activity and produced up to 100 meteors per hour, this is called “explosion” of meteor showers.
On average, these outbreaks occur every 30 years, but this is only an average and the actual number of years may vary.
The meteor shower will begin to appear in the night sky in the Lyra constellation region, northeast of the star Vega.
It is one of the brightest stars visible in the night sky at this time of year.
The Lyrids are made up of meteorite fragments from Comet Thatcher during its collision with Earth.
