SUMMARY:The Lyrid Meteor Shower 2024
DESCRIPTION:The Lyrid Meteor Shower 2024\nThe Lyrids appear in Chinese writing dating back to roughly 690 BCE\, making them one of the earliest meteor showers on record. On the night of April 20\, the annual shower will reach its near peak for 2024. The meteor shower is a result of Earth passing through the tail of the comet C/1861 G1 Thatcher. When our planet moves through this debris field\, the space rocks burn up in the Earth’s atmosphere\, causing spectacular lights to streak across the night sky. \nThe Lyrids are one the weaker annual meteor showers visible from Earth\, but on peak nights\, they usually produce 20-25 shooting stars per hour. This year the moon is nearly full and will play a part in the visiblity but this event is also unpredictable: on rare occasions\, spectators are treated to incredible surges of up to 100 meteors per hour. For this reason\, the Lyrids are worth checking out for diehard astronomy enthusiasts.\nCome out the Heide Observatory at Hawthorn Hollow and enjoy a relaxing evening in our anti-gravity chairs as we point out the night-sky objects and watch for meteors.\nTickets and chairs are limited so reserve your tickets soon. \nThis event is weather-dependent and will be cancelled or rescheduled by email 24 hours before the scheduled start time in the event of a cloud cover forecast greater than 30%. Reservations can be transferred for any other nightly observatory event. \nDress appropriately for being still in nighttime outdoor weather. \nQuestions? Feel free to contact us at Observatory@hawthornhollow.org.
