Lyrid Meteor Shower 2018: How, When and Where to Catch the Peak Moment

Stargazers should head outside the evening of April 21 if they want to catch the best glimpse of our galaxy’s oldest meteor shower. In order to witness the annual event, viewers should head outdoors when it’s dark, lie on their back, and wait at least a half hour to adjust to the darkness, Bill Cooke, lead of NASA’s Meteoroid Environment Office, previously told Newsweek. Additionally, when you lay down your feet should be facing east, NASA advises.
