Do you like astronomy? This weekend you cannot miss one of the most awaited events by night sky enthusiasts: the Lyrids<\/a><\/strong>. This meteor shower<\/a><\/strong> will take place on the nights of April 21-22 and April 22-23<\/strong>, the latter being the best time to observe this spectacular phenomenon.<\/p>\n\n\n

Meteor showers (or “star showers”) are the result of the Earth passing through clouds of space dust in its movement around the Sun, where pieces detached from comets and asteroids<\/a> are found<\/strong>. In the case of the Lyrids, the “shooting stars” that we will observe in the firmament belong to the Thatcher comet<\/strong>, which upon entering the Earth’s atmosphere precipitate due to the planet’s gravity, disintegrating due to friction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to observing this annual event,<\/strong> you can do it in two ways. The first, and the one that has been done all your life, is to see the Lyrids with your own eyes<\/strong>. To do this, you will have to go to a place that<\/strong> has no light pollution <\/a><\/strong>and is as dark as possible. Once there, you will have to wait a few minutes for your eyes to adapt to the darkness and you will be able to see the star shower well.<\/p>\n\n\n

But, in these modern times, these astronomical events can also be viewed from the comfort of your home. Many observatories <\/strong>and popular science YouTube <\/strong>channels will broadcast the Lyrids online, although sometimes you will encounter regional blockages. To bypass them and watch the star shower from anywhere in the world, you can resort to a VPN such as NordVPN<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
