Lyrid Meteor Shower Aligns with Bright 'Pink' Supermoon This Week

The Lyrid meteor shower, occurring alongside the April full moon, offers a unique celestial event, although the moon's brightness may hinder visibility.

The Lyrid meteor shower peaks this week, visible from April 15 to April 29, coinciding with the bright 'pink' supermoon.
Optimal viewing times are early morning hours after the moon sets and before dawn, with the darkest skies offering the best chance to see the meteors.
Light pollution should be minimized by choosing locations far from city lights for clearer visibility of the meteor shower.
The 'pink' supermoon, which gets its name not from its color but from a springtime bloom, adds a bright backdrop to the night sky.
Despite the moon's brightness, some meteors will still be visible, especially in areas with minimal light pollution.
