Here's some info to help you spot them better: (times are EST)</p> <p>The radiant of the meteor shower is located in the constellation Lyra. This constellation rises in the northeast at around 10pm. The peak will probably occur around 3am on the morning of the 22nd.</p> <p>The rates for the Lyrids are normally 10-20 meteors per hour, though on rare occasions can reach 100 per hour. Unfortunately, the moon will be one day past full this year, making observing more difficult. </p> http://globalconscious.com/board/topic/meteor-showers-2008#post-80 Thu, 27 Mar 2008 19:36:00 +0000 karen 80@http://globalconscious.com/board/ <blockquote><p>I can post more info on each shower, such as where to look in the sky and what times to go outside, if anyone would like that information.</p></blockquote> <p>I'd <strong>LOVE</strong> you to Zeph! I always feel a little lost when it comes to thee things.<br /> Living in a city, I'm not sure how lucky I'll be in seeing them, but at least if I know <em>where</em> to look I'll have a better chance! :o) </p> http://globalconscious.com/board/topic/meteor-showers-2008#post-76 Wed, 26 Mar 2008 22:40:23 +0000 Halibut 76@http://globalconscious.com/board/ <p>yes zephy times and where please!!! :) </p> http://globalconscious.com/board/topic/meteor-showers-2008#post-75 Wed, 26 Mar 2008 20:12:34 +0000 Zephyrus 75@http://globalconscious.com/board/ <p>Here's the 2008 Meteor Shower timeline:</p> <p>Jan. 3rd: Quadrantids<br /> Apr. 21st: Lyrids<br /> May 4-6th: Eta Aquarids*<br /> Jul. 28th: South Delta Aquarids*<br /> Aug. 12th: Perseids*<br /> Oct. 7-8th: Draconids<br /> Oct. 20-21st: Orionids<br /> Nov. 4-5th: South Taurids<br /> Nov. 17th: Leonids<br /> Dec. 13th: Geminids</p> <p>*These showers are predicted to be especially good this year</p> <p>I can post more info on each shower, such as where to look in the sky and what times to go outside, if anyone would like that information. </p>
