Meteor showers this April: Three rare opportunities to see

Love star gazing?

Our sunsets and sunrises are beautiful. But added to that a meteor shower. And you are in for a treat.

WHAT IS A METEOR SHOWER?

A meteor as a space rock or meteoroid that enters Earth’s atmosphere. When Earth encounters many meteoroids at once, we call it a meteor shower.

WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR

During a meteor shower, glowing streaks may appear anywhere in the sky, but their “tails” all seem to point back to the same spot in the sky, according to NASA.

METEOR SHOWERS: NOTE DOWN THESE DATES

In this month you will see not less than three meteor showers in the southern hemisphere

There are three metoer showers in this month : 1. April Lyrids 2. The pi Puppids 3. The eta Aquariids.

April Lyrids

Date: 16 to 25 April

For best view look toward the Lyra constellation.

THE PI PUPPIDS

Date: 15 to 28 April.

Best time to view: On 23 April between 19:00 and 23:00
