TEMPO Interactive, Jakarta - Puncak Lyrids meteor was going to happen on Wednesday and Thursday morning later. It is estimated that around 10-20 meteors will appear every hour. This phenomenon will be obvious by the inhabitants of the earth in the northern hemisphere. This meteor shower will occur during the 10 days, from Friday last week to 26 April.
According to the spokesman of the Jakarta Amateur Astronomy Association (HAAJ), a meteor is white, allowing a splash of colors blue, red and green in the sky. He admitted yesterday Monday morning saw the meteor's path.
"From the Cinere Lyrids could be seen," Ronny said when contacted by Tempo, Tuesday (20 / 4). "It is white, but only briefly. Looks like a white line about a second.
Areas of low light pollution and air pollution are suitable locations to witness the beauty of the Lyrids. If you refer to this condition, the area of Bogor, Thousand Islands, and Anyer is expected to become suitable venue. "But it ultimately depends on the weather really," said Ronny.
