Lyrid meteor shower to peak tonight
The annual April's Lyrid meteor shower is expected to be seen in Saturday's night sky. Lyrid meteors are disintegrated pieces of the comet Thatcher, discovered in 1861. The meteors are called so because they appear to be coming from constellation Lyra. Astronomers predict witnessing around 10 to 20 meteors per hour between midnight to sunrise around the bright Vega star.
