Ever seen a shooting star? Lyrids are in season, look up!

Recommended Posts

The Lyrids peak tonight/tomorrow.

 

Look up to the stars and you might see a 'shooting star' (meteorite).

 

Fortunately the clouds seem to be breaking somewhat.

I thought they were called the Leonids...

I was once drunk at my Inlaws house and said "oh look a shooting star" and was laughed at as it was just that thing where a plane goes past and leaves like a streak in the air.

The Leonids appear in November; this is a different swarm. There are a few regular swarms; outside of those, you can still see meteors but they're far less common and you might have to watch the sky for an hour before spotting one.
