How to watch the Lyrid meteor shower

It’s almost time for the Lyrids, the meteor shower that originated in the tail of a comet that surrounds the sun every 415 years.

The comet may be a rare sight, but the earth runs through debris in late April every year. This year, the medium bright meteors that occur when the debris streaks through the atmosphere are visible in the Northern Hemisphere between April 16 and April 30.
