Lyrid meteor shower this Sunday

[tedski]

If you happen to be awake after midnight on Sunday ... and the sky is clear in your area ... take a walk outside and look toward the east ... you might see a good display of meteors.

Randy ... the Lyrid meteor shower lasts from April 16 - 25, so in this case there is no real need for a precise time. The peak days are the 22-23, so early Sunday morning is the best time for viewing , especially after the moon sets around 12:30am.
