Recommendations for observing the meteor shower

The Lyrids will peak at approximately 5:15 AM (CEST) on April 22-23. Look south and identify the star Vega in the sky. Use an astronomy app to help you.

1. Find a dark sky: Stay away from city lights to improve visibility.


2. Don't use telescopes for meteors: Shooting stars are best seen with the naked eye, as they cross large portions of the sky.


3. Let your eyes adjust: Wait at least 20-30 minutes in the dark to see more meteors.


4. Bring warm clothes: April mornings can be cold.


5. Bring a blanket or a reclining chair: This way you can watch comfortably for hours.


6. Have your telescope or binoculars ready: To observe planets, clusters and nebulae between meteorite and meteorite.


7. Be patient: Meteor showers may have their lulls, but they're worth the wait.
