Where they come from: Comet Thatcher (C/1861 G1)
Dust from Comet Thatcher, which comes round about every 415 years and was last near the Sun in 1861. Chinese astronomers recorded the Lyrids in 687 BC, the oldest shower on record.
The estimate is how many you might really see from a dark spot here, allowing for
how high the shower climbs and for moonlight. "Under a perfect sky" is the best case.
The bar also counts the forecast cloud at the best time, so a clouded-out night sits at
the bottom, as does rain on the radar now.
Usually steady, but now and then it has a short burst of many more.

Eid al-Adha, the festival of sacrifice, falls on the 10th of Dhu al-Hijjah, during the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca. It remembers Ibrahim's (Abraham's) willingness to sacrifice his son at God's command. Families sacrifice a sheep, goat or other animal and share the meat with relatives, neighbors and the poor.
