Ok maybe try tomorrow night, The Lyrid meteor shower is expected to peak on Monday night, with the best viewing possible between midnight and dawn on Tuesday morning, according to NASA. “Everyone in the Northern Hemisphere can see the Lyrid meteor shower tonight,” NASA astronomer Bill Cooke notes in this post. To see the shower, try to find a place with dark skies away from any city lights, Cooke recommends. He also suggests giving your eyes at least 30 to 45 minutes to adjust to the darkness and trying to avoid looking at the moon. This year’s Lyrid meteor shower is visible between April 16 and 25, with the peak night on Monday, April 21, and into Tuesday, April 22, NASA said. While the peak rate is expected to be on the higher end of what we can normally expect, NASA does warn that the moon will block some of the less-bright meteors from view.
