If you spot a shooting star in the night sky later this week, it might be from the Lyrid meteor shower, which will reach its peak overnight around 12 a.m. ET on April 22, according to EarthSky.

Named after the Lyra constellation, the Lyrid meteor shower will end the "meteor drought," the period between January and mid-April when no meteor showers light up the sky. https://kdvr.com/news/lyrid-meteor-shower-peaks-this-week-heres-how-to-watch/
