Meteor rates are still low but the 2 detected Lyrids are a sign of things to come. As we approach the Lyrid peak on Wednesday morning, the number of Lyrids should rapidly increase. Last year, the Tucson camera detected 34 Lyrids with 26 happening on the nights of April 20/21 and 21/22.
Last night also saw the beginning of activity for the Eta Aquarids. These meteors from Comet Halley will peak on May 5/6 though this shower is more of a southern Hemisphere event.
