Find a spot well away from city or street lights, bring a blanket, and see this annual meteor shower for yourself.
At peak activity and in ideal viewing conditions like dark skies and clear weather, skywatchers could expect to see around 18 meteors per hour from the Lyrids. Of course, reality is rarely"ideal" so realistic meteor hunters should expect to see less than this, but should still watch out for the occasional bright fireball flash from the Lyrids.
NASA suggests that to increase the chances of spotting the Lyrids, amateur astronomers should head well away from city or street lights, equipped with a sleeping bag, blanket, or lawn chair. After observing dark skies for around 30 minutes allowing your eyes to adjust to the dark, NASA says you should be able to start seeing meteors with your unaided eye, but patience is required.
When Earth passes through that debris, it enters our planet's atmosphere at speeds as great as 29 miles per second.
