Pinoy sky gazers can enjoy the Lyrids meteor shower this month as it should be visible in the Philippine skies and other throughout the northern hemisphere.
The Lyrids meteor shower last from April 16 to April 26 every year. The radiant of the meteor shower is located in the constellation Lyra, peaking at April 22—hence they are also called the Alpha Lyrids or April Lyrids. The Lyrids have been observed for the past 2600 years. Usually peaking on around April 22 and the morning of April 23. Counts typically range from 5 to 20 averaging around 10 meteors per hour.
Of course watchers away from the cities will always get better views so why not get your summer vacations/getaway in the province or at the beach during these dates so you can wish upon a falling star. =)
Happy sky gazing!
