The Lyrids return under dark skies, giving skywatchers one of spring’s clearest meteor events
This year’s Lyrid meteor shower arrives with a major advantage: a moonless peak. That raises the odds that observers will catch bright meteors and occasional fireballs during one of the oldest recorded annual sky events.
Key Takeaways
- The Lyrid meteor shower will peak on April 22, 2026.
- Moonless skies should make this year’s shower easier to observe.
