V apríli bude aktívny meteorický roj Lyridy. Roj bude aktívny April 18-25 with an expected peak of April 22, 2021. Lyridy nepatria medzi vyhľadávané meteority MS amatérmi, pretože odrazy od ich stôp sú pomerne krátke a slabé, no sú dostačujúce pre digitálnu prevádzku meteor scatter.
Their speed is around 49 km/s. The estimated number of rebounds per hour is only 15 to 20. But maybe they will surprise us like in 1982, when they counted about 90 rebounds per hour in the USA. More accurate estimates will be known as the maximum approaches. Looking at the night sky, they will appear to fly from a location near the Northern Cross.
