Uzbekistanis will be able to watch the “star rain” in Lyrid

Uzbeks can observe the Lirida meteor shower from April 15 to April 29. This was reported by NASA.

It is noted that the first “starfall” at the expense of the current year, and in scientific language a meteor shower, will begin on April 15. The "flying Star" can be observed in the night sky until April 29, but the peak will come on the night of April 22-23. It is estimated that this year the flow will occur with an intensity of 18 meteors per hour.

The Lirida meteor shower is one of the oldest meteor showers observed by humans. He has been watched for 2,700 years. The first mention of this phenomenon dates back to 687 BC by the Chinese.

Lirida is best seen in the Northern Hemisphere during the dark hours (after moonset and before dawn).
