People in Qatar will be able to see the Lyrid meteor shower this year. According to Qatar Calendar House, the best time to see it is on Tuesday night, April 22 and Wednesday morning in 2025.
Astronomy expert Dr. Bashir Marzouk said that the Lyrid meteor shower occurs every year between mid-April and April 25. It always reaches its peak around April 22.
You can see up to 20 meteors per hour. The meteors will be visible to the naked eye in Qatar and other Arab countries. To see them, look to the northeast of the sky from midnight to dawn on Wednesday.
Dr. Marzouk added that you can use a camera to take pictures of the meteors. To get the best photos, leave the camera’s exposure open for a long time.
For the best view, it is best to go to a dark place far from the city lights on Tuesday night and stay there until early Wednesday morning.
