How can you see a meteor shower? Once you know when a meteor shower is happening you don't need a lot of fancy equipment like a telescope, just a clear night with no clouds, warm clothes and some patience. It's important to wrap up warm as you might be sitting still for a long time - don't get cold! Get in a comfy position, perhaps lying back on a chair, so you don't strain your neck, turn off any lights you can and go to the darkest part of the garden. Give your eyes about 20 minutes to adjust to the darkness, then sit back, keep watch and enjoy. Have you spotted the Lyrids before? Let us know in the comments if so! |
