It's ment too peak tonight/tomorrow, does anyone know the best place to look for it?



The Lyrid meteor shower occurs each year in mid-April when the Earth passes through a trail of dusty debris from the Comet Thatcher (C/1861 G1), which orbits the sun once every 415 years

Comet Thatcher was discovered by American Professor A. E. Thatcher on April 5, 1861,(April 7 – A population census is taken in the United Kingdom), only a week before start of hostilities in the US Civil War. Thatcher discovered the comet from New York City. Back in those days, light pollution was not a problem and the sky was dark even in the middle of major cities. One wonders if NYC will ever be the host any more comet discoveries. A short piece in the New York Times published on Feb. 28, 1870 contains a private letter sent from Sir John Herschel to Professor A. E. Thatcher. The letter was published nearly a decade after the discovery but shows the excitement in having a local scientist being personally congratulated by one of the world’s eminent astronomers of the time...

1861/April 26 – Giovanni Schiaparelli discovers the asteroid 69 Hesperia.

May 13 – Comet C/1861 J1 (the "Great Comet of 1861") is discovered in Australia.

May 14 – The Canellas meteorite, an 859 gram chondrite type meteorite, strikes Earth near Barcelona, Spain.

November 25 – A tenement collapses in the Old Town of Edinburgh and buries 50; rescuers find 15 of them alive..

The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you.. But to those on the outside everything is said in parables so that, they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven!
