Meteorsvärmen Lyriderna når sin kulmen natten mellan 21 och 22 april. Under mörka förhållanden kan upp till 20 meteorer per timme synas på himlen. Bäst chans har man efter midnatt.

Lyriderna är ett årligt meteorregn som uppstår när jorden passerar genom resterna av kometen Thatcher i slutet av april.

Kulmen infaller i natt, med prognoser om över 10 till 20 meteorer per timme under goda förhållanden. Det spelar ingen roll var i Sverige eller världen man befinner sig, så länge man väljer en mörk plats med fri horisont.

Peter Linde, ordförande för Svenska astronomiska sällskapet, rekommenderar tålamod: ”Går man ut i natt och har lite tålamod, tittar under en timme, gärna i en vilstol, då kommer man att kunna se en och annan meteor. Man ska gärna ha på sig ganska varma kläder också eftersom det fortfarande är kallt på natten.” Bäst chans är timmarna efter midnatt, runt klockan 2.

Astronomen Per Bjerkeli till SVT Jönköping: ”Gärna lägga sig på marken, varmt klädd och ta en halvtimme och titta upp, så kommer man säkert se något.” SMHI:s prognos visar en klar natt runt om i landet.

NASA successfully launched three sounding rockets from Alaska to study the electrical currents powering the northern lights. The missions, including investigations into mysterious black auroras, gathered high-quality data on how energy flows through Earth's upper atmosphere.
