That's when the Lyrid meteor shower - one of the oldest known and most reliable meteor showers of the year - lights up the night. The Lyrids will peak overnight from April 21, 2025 into April 22, 2025 this year.

To have the best chance and seeing some meteors, find an area away from city lights or street lights. Lie flat on your back with your feet facing east. Look up and take in as much of the sky as possible. Your eyes will adapt after about 30 minutes in the dark, allowing you to see the meteors.
