someone was asking about an april shower…

Lyrids – April 16 – 25, peaks around April 22nd, 23rd. The Lyrids radiant is close to the Lyra constellation, and rises just after midnight in the southern hemisphere and moves across the northern sky. The Lyrids meteor shower is best viewed after midnight on 22 April or well before sunrise on 23 April. Point your feet towards the northern sky and look about 45 degrees above the horizon. This shower is caused by debris from Comet Thatcher. This shower can produce spectacular meteors.

The wreckage of modern Britain burning up in the atmosphere.
