METEOR SHOWER TONIGHT!

Here’s How To Get Ready To See a Meteor Shower This Weekend

It’s been observed annually for over 2,500 years, with some years more spectacular than others. Each year, the April sky brightens around 21/22nd of the month with light from the Lyrid meteor shower and, of all the showers, this one is perhaps one of the most unreliable.
