The celestial realms are putting on a show over the next couple of days. While not the most spectacular of the year's meteor showers, it is easy to view. No special equipment is needed. The Lyrids are also unpredictable, so it may be that we see quite a show!
In North Carolina, my home base, the shower will peak Wednesday, April 22, from 11:30pm through about 4:30am on Thursday, April 23.
To watch, find a safe, open space away from city lights. Lie back and look at the northeastern quadrant of the sky.
More information here and here.
Blessed be, stargazers!
