LYRID METEOR SHOWER ON WEDNESDAY MORNING


Sky conditions should be good for viewing the meteor shower late tonight/tomorrow morning. Earth is entering a stream of debris from Comet Thatcher, the source of the annual Lyrid meteor shower. Forecasters expect the shower to peak before dawn on Wednesday. 10-20 meteors per hour are possible. If you don't see any meteors but happen to look to the east just before sunrise you will see the crescent Moon and Venus.
