Lyrid Meteor Shower Ends Tonight
Last night to view the skies for these.

"Skywatchers can expect to see about 18 meteors per hour, though the bright moon may make them difficult to spot"

"People in the Northeast will see the radiant rise around 9 or 10 p.m. in their local time zones, and it will continue to climb in the sky throughout the night — but the moon will also rise soon after, so you could try to spot meteors within that window. (The moon rises earlier the night of April 21 than the night of April 22.) Otherwise, going out closer to 3 or 4 a.m. will put the radiant in the best spot for you to see meteors, although they'll be washed out by the moon."

With pollution levels dropping by a significant amount due to the coronavirus lockdown, people should expect to watch the celestial event directly without telescopes.

Lyrid Meteor Shower 2020: What time will it peak?

It's the new moon so it will not be washed out

Best at dawn. Lay with feet toward the east.

Re: Lyrid Meteor Shower Ends Tonight
Lyrid meteors radiate from near the bright star Vega in the constellation Lyra the Harp. You don’t need to identify Vega or Lyra in order to watch the Lyrid meteor shower. The meteors radiate from there, but will appear unexpectedly, in any and all parts of the sky.
