Oh, the Lyrid meteor shower is such a beautiful sight to see! To catch a glimpse of it, all you need to do is find a dark area away from city lights and look up to the sky around mid to late April. Just relax, breathe in the fresh air, and enjoy nature's cosmic light show - it's like little shooting stars saying hello to us all.

Does a meteor shower happen when a meteor passes through the orbit of a comet?

A meteor shower happens when the Earth passes through a debris field of a comet's orbit or other similar celestial debris that may or may not have a regular cycle of occurrence. The term meteor shower refers to an unusual number of meteors visible per minute in the night sky as shooting stars. When you see a shooting star, you are actually seeing a meteor burn up in the outer reaches of our atmosphere. If you see 3 or more shooting stars (meteors burning up) per minute in the night sky, you are in a meteor shower. Most the time it is difficult to tell if you are in a meteor shower because of the low count per hour versus the count per minute. You can got to the web site for the American Meteor Society for listing and dates of various meteor showers.
