Comet Thatcher origin and viewing tips
The Lyrids come from Comet Thatcher and have wowed skywatchers for over 2,600 years.
This year's show gets a boost since the moon sets by 1:15am so skies will be extra dark, perfect for spotting those speedy streaks.
For your best shot: get away from city lights and look northeast before sunrise.
