Overview

• The Lyrid meteor shower, one of the oldest recorded, peaks late Sunday into Monday, with visibility best after moonset and before dawn.
• Visibility challenges arise from a waxing gibbous moon, which could obscure fainter meteors during the peak viewing times.
• Experts recommend finding a dark location away from city lights and allowing eyes to adjust to the darkness for optimal viewing.
• Other meteor showers, such as the Eta Aquariids and Perseids, are also anticipated later this year, promising more opportunities for celestial events.
• The full 'Pink Moon' occurring this week adds to the celestial activities, with minimal viewing disruption expected from moonlight during other upcoming showers.
