The Lyrid meteor shower peaks on April 21–22, and a new AccuWeather map highlights the best spots to catch the show.

The annual Lyrid meteor shower is back, offering people across the Northern Hemisphere a chance to catch shooting stars in the night sky.

When the Lyrid meteor shower reaches its peak, it will be spring's first chance to see shooting stars. The Lyrids have surprised skygazers in the past with as many as 100 meteors per hour, but it's not predicted to be as active this time around.
