Every year in late April Earth passes through the dusty tail of Comet Thatcher (C/1861 G1), and the encounter causes a meteor shower–the Lyrids. This year the shower peaks on Monday morning, April 22nd. Forecasters expect 10 to 20 meteors per hour, although outbursts as high as 100 meteors per hour are possible.
On April 22nd 2013 from noon – 1:30pm, tune in to the Mars One Astronaut Selection Program on Youtube and Twitter.
