The sky will be dark and moonless for at least three hours before the first light of dawn on Sunday morning, April 22, when the annual Lyrid meteor shower is due to reach its peak.

The shower remains above one-half of its peak strength for about a day or two, centered on the shower’s maximum.

Thanks for the Heads-up. I never remember to watch for the showers, and when I do the sky is overcast that night. I was overcast for the most recent lunar eclipse as well.
