SEATTLE — When you think of meteor showers, you may think of the impressive Perseids in August. But April had a falling star display of its own as well. The Lyrid meteor shower peaked Monday night.

The Leonids is a typical meteor shower most years, on pace with others such as the Lyrids and Orionids with around 15 shooting stars per hour. That is once again the case in 2025, but history has shown that it has the potential to erupt into an unbelievable meteor frenzy.
