Sky watcher update
We are among the Lyrids meteor shower with its peak day on April 22. Usually only 10 meteors per hour, but it can produce on rare occasions up to 100 per hour. Dark skies and a lot of luck to observe that many meteors per hour but more than 10 might be possible under the right conditions.
If you haven’t seen Mercury with the naked eye yet April 23 just after sunset is a great time to bag a sighting. Mercury will be brighter than the brightest star Sirius making it the brightest object in the western sky.
Of course you will need an unobstructed view of the horizon and clear skies. Mercury will be visible until the 30th but fading in magnitude by then.
