"Lirids" will be the most visible around four o'clock in the morning or after sunset and before sunrise.

As for witnessing this phenomenon we don't need a telescope, nor it is dangerous to observe this phenomenon with the naked eye. Meteor Rain "Lirids" will be visible from the northern hemisphere, which means that people in

Serbia will be able to see it. The only requirement is that there are no clouds or rain as in these conditions meteors cannot be seen.

Otherwise, a meteor shower is a phenomenon where a larger number of meteors apparently comes from a single point or a very small area of ​​the sky during a short period of time.

Meteors appear when meteoroids at high speed enter the earth's atmosphere and ionize the air layer around. Recombination of ions leads to the appearance of light called "meteor".

Most meteoroids are smaller than a grain of sand. When passing through the atmosphere, they completely evaporate and never reach the Earth's surface.

This phenomenon creates beautiful sights in the sky! See what this meteor shower in New Mexico looked like:
