Look Up for Meteor Shower
Chanced upon this news while opening my mails. It instructs us to turn off the TV and look up. Why? Because in the pre-dawn hours of April 22 (1:00-3:00am)US Time you'll likely (not sure?) be treated to a spectacular celestial show of meteor shower. Here's part of the news:
In the pre-dawn hours of April 22 (1:00 - 3:00 am), be sure to look up. If you do, you'll likely be treated to a spectacular celestial show in the form of the Lyrids meteor shower.
Why bother to wake up at an ungodly hour to gaze at the sky? Several reasons. First, the Lyrids shower was, according to Meteor Showers Online, first observed at least 2,600 years ago, making it the oldest of any meteor shower. Secondly, viewers have a small chance "to get a glimpse of some dazzling fireball meteors from a completely different meteor swarm."
