Above is the NASA UStream of the meteor shower. You will not miss anything from this spectacular event, and the best part being, is you don't need to go outside and look high and low for them. So kick back, get some popcorn and grab a drink and prepare for a show.
Below I will be going into some details regarding this shower.
When Does This Shower Occur?
The Lyrids meteor shower occurs generally April 16th through the 26th. This occurs every year and the peak time being changed every year. Sadly this year it was April 20th so we all missed that day.Characteristics of the shower.
This meteor shower is known to create "fireballs" which is any meteor that is brighter than the nearby planets. These can cast shadows on the earth but do not last long and will eventually burn up in the atmosphere. However, they do leave a very long trail of smoke this trail will last a few minutes and then dissipate into the night.What Do I Do If I Find A Meteorite?
If the shower is in your area and you do go to a crash site DON'T pick anything up and don't touch the meteorite. The best thing to do is contact your authorities who will get the area under control and likely send the meteorite to a research center.You May Also Watch the Video On Any Of Our Sister Sites
