Eclipse of Venus and......

For sky watchers in western parts of North America the moon will eclipse Venus tomorrow( the 22th) in the morning sky before sunrise. More to find out when the eclipse time is for you. Sorry Jenny you will not be able to see it:( But you still can get up before sunrise because the Moon and Venus will be very close to each other. It should be it the eastern sky. Also, before sunrise on the 22th is the best time to see the Lyrid meteor shower. but you should be able to see 10 to 20 meteors per hour so it is not a great meteor shower. if you get up when it is still dark. A better meteor shower is between August 8 and 14, peaking about August 12 they are called the Perseids.
