    The Lyrid meteor shower is visible now and peaking soon. Here’s how to spot it

    The Lyrid meteor shower is currently visible and will peak Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, with 10-20 shooting stars per hour expected. The dim crescent moon won't interfere, and the best viewing is in the Northern Hemisphere. The shower originates from debris left by comet Thatcher, visible annually as Earth passes through its trail.
