In the southern hemisphere, the same thing happens with Twins December both are especially intense rains, with many meteors per hour. But there is one more, which is also very intense, and we pay much less attention. In fact, there are several, but today it is time to talk about one of them: Lirrids.
This rain of stars usually has the maximum peak around Night from April 21 to 22. Sometimes this leads to powerful meteor storms.

Another feature of Lida is that they cause an intensive meteor storm, from up to 100 per hour, Every 60 yearsThe next field will take place in 2042. Despite this, until then it will leave us a lot and very good shows.
How can we see Liud?

Shining rain of stars; That is, the point in which they were born is Lira constellationNevertheless, they can be seen anywhere in the sky. It would be better to look for them early at night before the moon is high in the sky, but besides this there is no need to take into account many recommendations.
In the worst case, of course, we see some other interesting fleeting star. But we can see something else. It is known that Lyed has the ability to house Cars This Especially glowing meteorsWith an appearance similar to fire balls.
