Surges Of Up To 100 Meteors Per Hour Will Light Up The Georgia Skies During The 2020 Lyrid Meteor This April
Sometimes it’s nice to step back and take a break from the world for one evening of pure natural magic. That’s how we feel when meteor showers take place. Not only are you able to get outside in a secluded area with minimal light pollution, but you also get to watch one of the most magical light shows in the entire galaxy. This April, the Lyrid meteor shower in Georgia is taking place and you do not want to miss out.
The Lyrid meteor shower will take place this April between April 16th and April 25th.
If you can’t make it to a dark sky park for that allotted amount of time, then it’s recommended that you check out the show on the night between April 21 and 22, which is when the shower is said to peak.
This shower is named after the constellation Lyra, which is a small constellation representing the lyre — a musical instrument with strings used back in the day.
