When is the Lyrids meteor shower?
The peak of the Lyrids meteor shower in 2022 is estimated to take place at 19:00 Universal Time on Friday, April 22, 2022. That’s 15:00 EDT, 12:00 PDT and 20:00 p.m. BST. That favors Europeans, who can go “shooting star”-gazing as soon as it gets dark for peak activity.
North America will miss out on the Lyrids’ absolute peak because it will likely occur during daylight hours. But wherever you are all you have to do is to go outside when it gets dark on Friday, April 22 to have a chance to see “shooting stars.”
Continue looking through to the early hours of Saturday, April 23 because it's only at midnight when the skies will be truly dark and the source of the “shooting stars” will be high in the sky.
