If the skies are clear tonight (April 22), you may want to do some stargazing! The first spring meteor shower will reach its peak on Earth Day this year!

The Lyrid meteor shower typically delivers one meteor every 5 minutes or so, or 20 per hour.

The ideal time to watch is likely between 9 p.m. and 1 a.m., local time.
