Lyrids

Posted April 23rd, 2009 by admin

Every April from about the 16th to the 26th there is a meteor shower – it appears to come from the constellation of Lyra hence the name. They peak on the 22nd and the morning of the 23rd so though I only found out about them yesturday I decided to try and look for some this year.

I will also make this even in for future years so that it doesn’t get forgotten again – interestingly I noted there was a meteor storm in 1982 – I would have been 1 year old at the time – could that be the brilliant meteor shower my dad woke me up for – I remember being a babe in arms so it has to have been within the first four years of my life and I don’t remember my brother being in existance.
