The Lyrid meteor shower will be visible all day on Thursday, with astronomers predicting a peak at around 1pm. Tania de Sales Marques, an astronomer at the Royal Observatory Greenwich, told the PA news agency: “Since the peak occurs during the day the best time to try to spot the shower will be before sunrise on the 22nd or after sunset.
Ms de Sales Marques added that because the Moon will be at a waxing gibbous phase, there will be quite bright in the sky meaning conditions “won't be very favourable”.
