The peak of the Lyrids is narrow (no weeks-long stretches of meteor-watching, as with some showers). In 2024, the full moon falls at 23:49 UTC on April 23. So meteor watching will be impacted by a bright waxing gibbous moon. ...

See “Radiant” below.The American Meteor Society is listing 8:43 UTC on May 5 as the shower’s predicted** pea...
