The shower will be visible from April 16 to 25, but is expected to peak on April 22, with an intense burst of activity.
You shouldn’t need binoculars or a telescope to see the shower, just find a suitably dark area and hope there’s not too much cloud on that night.
To give yourself a better chance of spotting the shower, give your eyes thirty minutes to adjust to the darkness outside.
Experts say that to see find the Lyrid shower, you should look for the Big Dipper or The Plough.
