Shooting stars in April: How to see the Lyrid meteors. As of: April 7, 2024, 7:02 p.m By: Tanja Banner CommentsPressSplit The Lyrids provide an impressive spectacle in the night sky.

Theoretically, you can see up to 18 shooting stars per hour. The best chance of getting close to the peak is to lie in wait before sunrise on the morning of April 22nd. But the bright and almost full moon will be in the sky and will disturb the observation.
