If you have clear sky check out some falling stars! 
The first meteor shower since January will be visible for much of the nation on Friday night as the Lyrid meteor shower reaches its peak.
This will be an excellent year for viewing the Lyrids as the peak falls just a few days before the new moon, thus light from the moon will not interfere much with viewing conditions.
Up to 20 meteors an hour may be seen on the night of April 21 into the morning of April 22 in areas with a clear sky and low light pollution.
The Lyrids can occasionally produce as many as 100 meteors an hour, but an outburst like this is not expected this year.
“These meteors usually lack persistent trains but can produce fireballs,“ the American Meteor Society said.
