Look for the Lyrids
Earth is entering a stream of debris from ancient Comet Thatcher, source of the annual Lyrid Meteor Shower. Usually the shower is mild (10-20 meteors per hour) but unmapped filaments of dust in the comet’s tail sometimes trigger outbursts ten times stronger. Forecasters expect the peak to occur on April 21-22.

Taken from FB, so who knows if that’s the true number,
but heads up… it might be pretty your way, tonight!
