We could all use a distraction right now, and Mother Nature just might offer that up for us mid-week. If you feel like braving the cold and pitching a tent, the Lyrid meteor shower is set to peak Wednesday before sunrise. Peak occurs Wednesday morningYou’ll want to find a dark spot away from city/suburban lights, and give your eyes some time to adjust. Look toward the northeast as a starting point, but understand that these can be visible anywhere in the predawn sky. While you’re out there, see if you can spot Mars, Saturn and Jupiter in the southeast sky too!
