Lyrid meteor shower

Lyrid meteor shower set to illuminate Saudi skies on Wednesday night

It will be viewable from midnight until dawn with the naked eye, with no need for telescopes or other equipment, and is best observed from open locations away from light pollution
The average Lyrid shower produces 15-20 meteors an hour at its peak; for about a day either side of peak activity, 5-10 can usually be seen each hour if skies are clear
