An ancient meteor shower is set to light up Irish skies for over a week. First discovered in 687 BC, making it the oldest discovered meteor shower, the Lyrid meteor shower is set to make its return for the first time since 2017.

Astronomer Patrick M. Shober found a new meteor shower—and it comes from an asteroid getting broken down by the Sun.

Networks of sky-monitoring cameras around the world spotted 282 meteors that may be the result of an as-yet-unknown parent asteroid.
