Kirov residents will be able to see the meteor shower Lyrids.
On the night from Wednesday to Thursday, from April 22 to 23, the maximum activity of the Lyrid meteor shower is expected. This was reported by the authors of the public page "Amateur Astronomy in Kirov."
It should be noted that the meteor shower is formed due to the Earth's passage through a trail of dust particles created by the Thatcher comet. When particles of cometary material enter the atmosphere, they burn up, creating meteors — bright streaks. The Thatcher comet will next approach Earth in the year 2283.
The meteor shower can be seen until April 25, but the peak occurs on the night of April 22 to 23, when about 25 meteors per hour can be observed. It is best to watch the Lyrids in the second half of the night. You should look in the eastern direction. The meteors will be visible to the naked eye.
