Meteors produced by this shower appear to originate from the constellation Lyra, and up to 3 meteors per hour can be observed at its peak, assuming perfect viewing conditions.[1][2][4][5] The shower is best observed in the Northern Hemisphere,[2] and in the hours before dawn, as its radiant will be higher in the sky.[3]
