Weather and Science for Kids: Lyrid Meteor Shower

The annual Lyrid meteor shower will peak overnight Tuesday into early Wednesday morning. While meteors will be visible after sunset the peak will occur around 1:00 AM Wednesday.

The best viewing will be away from city lights. While early meteors will originate in the northeast the best thing to do is just to lay back and look up to give yourself a broad view of the sky.
