Question

Where is the Lyrid meteor shower visible from?

Answer 1

From the Northern Hemisphere starting at around 9 p.m look for the star Vega in the constellation of Lyra, or the Lyre, slightly southwest of Vega away from city lights and other light pollution and you will eventually be able to see the meteors coming into view in the the sky from that point as the Earth moves through the dust, ice and debris left over from an ancient comet.
Vega will be more or less straight overhead by 4 a.m. but the meteors should still be coming with varying intensity. I find laying flat on my back in a lawn chair to work well. At the beginning of the evening use it like a regular chair with the back upright. As the night wears on, start laying the seat back down gradually, until it is flat. It works well. You can also lay on top of the roof of your house, or your car. Bring a blanket as it can get cold. It is hard to enjoy Nature's show when your teeth are chattering.

Answer 2

It should be visible from anywhere. The best time to view will be about 4am and for a while after that. This isn't the biggest meteor shower (the biggest happening in the winter months) but a good yearly show regardless. Go as far away from city lights, you'll get a better show.

Answer 3

Anywhere on Earth, but you will see more meteors in the northern hemisphere and between midnight and dawn. Best nights are tonight and tomorrow night. This is a fairly minor meteor shower, so I don't know what all the fuss is about. The best showers are the Perseids in August and the Geminids in December.

Answer 4

Meteor showers can be seen everywhere on Earth. You just need to go somewhere where it's dark enough to see them. Like not downtown Vegas.
