The Heavens Declare God's Glory With April's Shooting Stars

"The Heavens declare the glory of God;

and the firmament shows and proclaims His handiwork."

Psalm 19:1

Lyrids Meteor Shower

(2019)

While April showers bring May flowers,  (hopefully clear) night skies 

will add an extra dimension of wonder and beauty to the heavens

 this week with the peaking of the annual Lyrids Meteor Shower.

The remnant of a dusty comet trail, which has been circling 

  around the sun for centuries,  the shooting stars of the Lyrids

  will be highly visible in the Northern Hemisphere during the
 overnight hours of Tuesday, April 21st, into Wednesday,

  April 22nd, with the best viewing time just before dawn.

    

  According to Space.com and NASA meteor expert Bill Cooke, 

  at two days away from New Moon, the moon will only
 be a thin crescent and therefore not bright enough

  to obscure the viewer's observations.
