Peak Of The Astronomical Phenomenon Occurs In The Morning Of Tuesday (22); Find Out Time, Sky Direction And Tips For Observing.

The Lyrids meteor shower peaks in the early morning of April 22, with up to 18 “shooting stars” per hour visible in Brazil. Discover how to watch the spectacle, even with the waning moon, and the best locations for observation.

What Is The Lyrids Meteor Shower?

The Lyrid is caused by debris from Comet Thatcher (C/1861 G1), which orbits the Sun every 415 years. Its name comes from the constellation Lyra, the region of the sky where the meteors appear to originate. The phenomenon occurs annually in April.

Best Date For Observation: Morning Of 21 To 22 Of April

The peak of the shower happens between the night of April 21 and the early morning of April 22, around 2 AM (Brasília Time). The phenomenon began on April 14 and continues until April 30, but the peak will have greater intensity.

Tips For Better Visibility (Location, Time And Patience)

Ideal Time: From 2 AM on April 22.
Be Patient: Meteors may take minutes to appear.
Trajectory: They streak across the sky at 46 km/s, but can come from any direction.

The moon will be 40% illuminated in the waning phase, which reduces the brightness of the meteors. However, it is still possible to see the more intense trails.

The Lyrid is one of the first meteor showers of the year and a unique chance to observe up to 18 “shooting stars” per hour. Get ready for the morning of April 22 and enjoy the spectacle!

Tips For Better Visibility (Location, Time And Patience)

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Ethiopia has banned gasoline and diesel cars, placed over a hundred silent electric buses on the streets of Addis Ababa, and now aims for half a million electric vehicles by 2030, all powered by Africa’s largest dam and a courage that few countries have shown.

Egypt wants to draw 10 million cubic meters of water from the Nile per day into the desert, irrigate a new agricultural frontier, and build a city where there is currently only sand.

Norway is drilling 27 kilometers of rock 392 meters below the bottom of a fjord to build the world’s largest and deepest underwater road tunnel — when completed, a 21-hour journey will be reduced to 10.

An astronaut spent 340 days in space while his twin brother stayed on Earth, and NASA found a “rejuvenating” effect, genes, microbiome, cognition, and immune system that revealed the biological cost of living outside the planet.

Chinese engineers begin filling a 217-meter dam at an altitude of 3,000 meters and prepare a 2,240 MW hydroelectric power plant to integrate hydropower, solar, and wind energy in the upper Jinsha.

The last weekend of April will bring heavy rain and temperatures plummeting to near 0°C in the mountains of the South, and anyone who thought the cold only arrived in May is in for a surprise.

A mountain road with 284 curves, considered one of the most beautiful in Brazil, will be closed to cars on Sunday because hundreds of cyclists will climb the 24 km of road in Santa Catarina.

The 2000s shoe that everyone swore they’d never wear again is back revamped, with the approval of Beyoncé and Gisele, and now promises to dominate the streets in the winter of 2026 with a completely different look.

Researchers walked 4.6 kilometers through the sertão of Paraíba and found hundreds of rock carvings scattered across rocks — what could be Brazil’s largest archaeological site was hidden on a rural property 20 km from Catolé do Rocha.

Canadian company drills almost 100 km of wells up to 4.5 km deep, transforms an abandoned geothermal field into a giant underground radiator, and enables Germany to receive electricity from a closed-loop geothermal system on the public grid for the first time.

Engineers from Iceland descended 4,659 meters into an active volcanic zone, and the IDDP-2 project found supercritical fluids at 427 degrees and 340 bar of pressure, crossing the boundary where water ceases to be liquid or vapor and begins to concentrate energy at extreme levels.

Scientists have created inhalable microrobots with living cells to deliver drugs directly to the lungs, and the technology could cure respiratory diseases through the use of bio-hybrid machines capable of moving inside the body.

The technology that most threatens jobs in the world is not a physical robot; it operates inside the computer, has already eliminated 45,000 jobs in 2026, and could eliminate 92 million by 2030, while companies produce more with fewer people.
