Stellarium graphic showing the radiant of the Lyrids meteor shower at 02:00 BST (01:00 UT) on 23 April 2026.

22nd to 23rd: Peak of the Lyrids meteor shower. With the Moon sitting away from the radiant and setting in the early hours, this year is a reasonable one to spot Lyrid meteors. Under a dark sky it might be possible to see around 5-10 meteors per hour. #Lyrids #LyridsMeteorShower #Astronomy

21st to 22nd: Activity from the Lyrids meteor shower will be at near-peak level this evening into the morning of the 22nd. #Lyrids #LyridsMeteorShower #Astronomy

14th: Activity from the #Lyrids meteor shower begins today. The peak is on the night of 22nd to 23rd. The source of Lyrid meteors is the dust stream laid down by comet C/1861 G1 Thatcher, which last appeared in 1861. It is not expected to return until the year 2276. #LyridsMeteorShower #Astronomy

A long streak in a starry sky, above a mountain. The streak shows pink, yellow and green colors.

Our friend Eliot Herman in Arizona captured this colorful #meteor on Sunday. Thank you! This might be a random meteor, not associated with any #meteorshower. We're now in the annual meteor drought time of year. Our next major meteor shower will be the #Lyrids. Read about the Lyrids:

Glowing, cloudy band of the Milky Way across a dark sky, with a thin bright streak high in the sky. Some trees and a hill are in the foreground.

Jeremy Evans of Eastern Sierra, California, caught this image on April 22 during the peak of the #Lyrids #Meteor Shower. Meteors and the Milky Way are back! Thank you, Jeremy!

Silhouette of a tree in the foreground, to the left side. A starry sky and a dense band of stars and stellar dust crossing the sky from top left to bottom right. Two white streaks in the top right.

Cecille Kennedy in Oregon wrote: "A day past the peak of the Lyrid meteor shower I managed to accidentally capture the meteors in some Milky Way photos that I was shooting. Don't forget to make a wish!" Thank you. You can still see some #Lyrids until around April 25. 🔭 Good luck!

Stargazers can enjoy two meteor showers—Lyrids and Eta Aquarids—in the early morning sky! ☄️

✨ Look northeast after midnight for Lyrid.

Яскравий метеор пролітає нічним небом, залишаючи короткий світлий слід на фоні зоряного неба й силуетів дерев на горизонті.

Метеор з яскравим зеленкуватим сяйвом на фоні зоряного неба, видно сузір’я та характерний слід від метеора.

Тонкий слід метеора пролітає посеред нічного зоряного неба, серед розсипу дрібних зірок.

Метеор залишає вертикальний яскравий слід на правому краю кадру, майже "втікаючи" з поля зору.

Метеорний потік Ліриди, котрий минулої ночі сягнув піку, таки порадував кількома метеорами. На жаль, найцікавіший з них трапився на самому краю кадру, і мені не вдалося зняти його у всій красі. #Ліриди #Lyrids #астрофото #нічненебо #астрономія #метеори #astrophotography

Now, this is a strange thing I caught. If you watch from 2:04 just right of center, from north to south. You see a "flashing" object. Would that be something skipping or tumbling in the atmosphere?

Seeing some flashes in the #allsky camera of meteorites. Guess it was worth getting up.

Off to see if I can get some #meteorite and #milkyway photos.

Locate the fixed star of Vega, & you will be on your way to catching some top tier shooting stars.

The Lyrids are even known to produce a few fireballs! 💥

Some of the coolest things I've ever seen, I witnessed while star gazing.

That was a beautiful bright #Lyrids meteor 💫 🙌 🤩My persistence has paid off. Been out the last couple of nights and even tried at 4am this morning with no joy. Laid out under the stars just now and got my reward. Happy me!

Our group blessing during last night's meteor shower, honoring divine interconnection and making offerings to guides, inviting divine inspiration. 💙
