But the closer you get to sunrise the brighter the sky is going to become so plan accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen simply fill your view with the sky and wait. Lying on the ground is a great way to see as much as possible \u2013 blanket optional but highly recommended. Reclining deckchairs make an even more comfortable way to view the sky.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlso, even though summer is rapidly approaching, remember to wrap up warm.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Clear skies are expected for tonight, giving stargazers the perfect opportunity to catch a glimpse of the meteor shower.<\/p>\n<p>READ MORE FROM SOURCE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thisislocallondon.co.uk\/news\/18392058.lyrids-meteor-shower-peak-tonight-watch\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.thisislocallondon.co.uk\/news\/18392058.lyrids-meteor-shower-peak-tonight-watch\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A SPECTACULAR show of shooting stars is set to take place tonight as the Lyrids Meteor shower peaks&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":143479,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[49],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-143478","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-science"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
