Lyrids Meteor Shower 2026 Forecast Active period: April 14–30, 2026 (broad window, with activity building toward the peak). Peak: Night of April 21–22, 2026, with maximum activity expected around 19:15–20:00 UT on April 22 (early morning hours of April 22 for most of the Americas and Europe; best viewing after midnight local time through dawn). Expected Zenithal Hourly Rate (ZHR): ~18 meteors per hour under ideal dark-sky conditions (radiant at zenith, no moonlight, no light pollution). Typical observed rates are lower — often 5–20 meteors per hour from good sites. Moon interference: Very favourable. The Moon will be a thin waxing crescent (about 27% illuminated on peak night), setting before the radiant rises high. Dark skies after midnight make this one of the better Lyrid displays in recent years. Radiant: Near the bright star Vega in Lyra (constellation Lyra). The radiant rises in the northeast after midnight and is highest before dawn — best viewing direction is overhead or slightly east. Parent comet: C/1861 G1 (Thatcher) — long-period comet with a ~415-year orbit.
