Lyrid meteor showers
Definition
An annual meteor shower occurring from approximately April 16 to 25, peaking around April 22, caused by Earth passing through the dust trail of Comet C/1861 G1 (Thatcher), with meteors appearing to radiate from the constellation Lyra.
Renowned for swift meteors traveling at about 49 kilometers per second, occasionally producing bright fireballs, visible best under dark skies away from city lights.
