After a three-month drought, meteor showers are back, starting with the Lyrids, which peak soon over Virginia.

While the number of meteors per hour could vary, there is a chance to see many of them race across the sky after the Lyrid meteor shower begins.

In 2025, the Lyrid meteor shower will be visible from April 16-25, peaking on April 22, according to the Royal Observatory Greenwich. It says the best time to see the shower is in the early morning of the peak day, starting after midnight and becoming more intense before dawn.
