Lyrid shooting stars start tonight . . .

Lyrid Meteor ShowerOne of the joys of living in a rural community is being able to observe meteor showers much clearer than those who live in the city.  Tonight sees the start of the Lyrid meteor shower, visible through to the 25th and peaking on 22nd when up to 100 an hour can be viewed.
They should be easy to see as the sky is dark with the New Moon being on the 23rd. Just go out into your garden and look North East.
