Look up! The Lyrid meteor shower will fill skies over the United States with shooting stars Monday night into early Tuesday morning. Here's how you can watch.

The Eta Aquarids meteor shower is already active, and annually comes from April 19 to May 28. Peak viewing is expected on May 5 and 6.

The Lyrids meteor shower will reach its peak early Tuesday morning, when its barrage of space rocks meets the atmosphere in the eastern sky. "You will begin to see Lyrids after 10 p.m. local time," said Bill Cooke,
