Calling all #citizenscience advocates to view the #Lyrids #meteorshower tonight in the northern hemisphere. Peak viewing between 9 pm & 5 am if you can find #DarkSky and minimal clouds. Great opportunity to share #astronomy & #STEM with your neighbors, children & grandchildren. https://t.co/WcZmJ2wwgO
