    Space Weather News for April 21, 2004
    http://spaceweather.com>

    Earth is passing through a stream of dusty debris from Comet Thatcher, the
    source of the annual Lyrid meteor shower. The best time to look is during
    the hours before dawn on Thursday, April 22nd, when the shower peaks.
    Lyrids appear to stream from the vicinity of the bright blue star Vega in
    the constellation Lyra high in the northern sky. This is not an intense
    shower, but some years it is pretty: northern sky watchers typically see
    between 5 and 25 meteors per hour.
