Not sure what that means, but still intrigued? Read on for the scoop on Meteor Showers 101.
First things first: If the word “fireball” only makes you think of the spicy, gag-inducing shots you took at your local dive bar in college, scrap that memory and imagine a much prettier, far more powerful spectacle.

While you’re not guaranteed to snap a gorgeous photo like the below, it’s safe to say you’ll have a few good opportunities to shoot your shot, so to speak. The Lyrid shower will take place between April 16th and April 25th, peaking late at night on there 21st into early morning on the 22nd. During this peak, it’s estimated that there will be a whopping 18 meteors per hour.By the way, if the news of a meteor shower has you running to check your horoscope, allow me to assure you—there’s no need.
