told SFGATE. “But the activity increases as the night progresses, and you’ll see them coming down fast, like shooting stars that last about half a second.”

The peak, making for a darker night sky and stronger chances for observing even some of the fainter meteors. Your best bet for viewing the Lyrids starts at about 11 p.m. Saturday night. The meteors are expected to reach their maximum intensity between midnight that night and 3 a.m. Sunday morning, McKeegan said. Lunsford noted that before dawn, between the hours of 4 and 5 a.m., may also be an ideal time.
