The 2025 Lyrid meteor shower is expected to peak overnight Monday, April 21, into the morning of Tuesday, April 22, according to NASA. During the Lyrids ' peak, 10 to 20 fast and bright meteors can be seen per hour, according to NASA. Local forecasts will include detailed information on how clear the night sky will be in various locations.

Best viewed from the Northern Hemisphere, the Lyrid meteor shower is the world's oldest known of its kind and reliably occurs every April.

"You will begin to see Lyrids after 10 p.m. local time," said Bill Cooke, who leads NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama "This year, the light from the crescent moon will not interfere too much with the viewing, but it is best to look away from the moon, preferably placing it behind you."
