Every April, as Earth sweeps through a trail of ancient comet dust, the night sky comes alive with one of its most reliable celestial displays: the Lyrid meteor shower. Known for its fast, bright meteors and occasional fireballs, the Lyrids offer a vivid reminder of our planet’s place in a dynamic, ever‑moving cosmos. This program invites you to explore the science, history, and wonder behind this annual spectacle. Join us as we explore the science and stories behind this annual event and be sure to attend our special auditorium presentation at 10:30 a.m. where we’ll take a closer look at what makes the Lyrids such a memorable celestial visitor.
