(CNN) — The first meteor shower of spring, known as the Lyrid meteor shower, will present a night skywatching show beginning on Sunday evening and peaking on Wednesday night.

There hasn’t been a meteor shower to light up the sky since early January, and this one will be visible around the globe.

And unlike 2019, the waning moon will allow a better view of these bright meteors.

Late evening and early morning hours based on your location, between midnight and 4 a.m to 5 a.m. local time, may be the best time to see shooting stars, or meteors that burn up in our atmosphere, according to the American Meteor Society.
