Lyrid Meteor Shower

Space Weather News for April 21, 2010
http://spaceweather.com

LYRID METEOR SHOWER: Earth is entering a stream of dusty debris from Comet Thatcher, source of the annual Lyrid meteor shower. Forecasters expect the shower to peak on April 22nd with as many as 20 meteors per hour, although visibility will be reduced by bright moonlight. The best time to look, no matter where you live, is Friday morning during the hours before local dawn.  Visit

BIG SUNSPOTS: This week the sun is dotted with several large spots, a situation that will become increasingly common as Solar Cycle 24 intensifies.  Our new White Light Solar Observing System allows you to safely monitor these behemoth sources of solar activity.  Click here for more information:
