meteor shower

It isn’t a very well known meteor shower due to the fact that it doesn’t produce a lot of meteors, but if you decide to stay up to view this, and you see one it can be quite an exciting experience.

Michigan normally sees the Perseids and the Lyrid meteor showers. The Perseids are more active than the Lyrids, but you see more fireballs with the Lyrids, which can look a bit scary.

There are the annual Lyrid meteor showers which are expected to peak this week, especially around Monday night/Tuesday morning

The longest night of the year takes place Friday December 21, 2018. The winter solstice is when the Earth’s axis tilts the Northern Hemisphere farthest from the sun.
