Natural History Wanderings

From Anza-Borrego Natural History Association

Lyrid Meteor Shower runs from April 16 to April 25, peaking on the nights of April 21-22 and April 22-23. The Lyrids may not be quite as showy as some meteor showers, but these meteors are known for sometimes leaving bright dust trails. Unfortunately, we have a full moon on April 23, but you should still be able to see the brightest meteors. This shower is the result of Earth passing through debris & dust from comet Thatcher.
