The skies will be lit up this week by a light display provided by the Lyrid meteor shower.
While the meteor shower originally began on April 14, it will be reaching its peak on April 22 to 23 and will be clearly visible all across the UK. If hopeful stargazers want to catch a glimpse of the showers then the peak time would be during the early morning.
