Lanyon Quoit

How to See This Weekend's Full Pink Micromoon

"I watched the Lyrid meteor shower over the Lanyon Quoit in Cornwall, UK, where the display peaks in the pre-dawn hours of April 22. The Lyrids, which run from mid to late April, typically produce around 18 meteors per hour under dark skies and are known for fast, vivid shooting stars and the occasional fireball; I kept my eyes on the constellation Lyra, particularly the bright star Vega, and also scanned the eastern horizon for Venus, Saturn, and Mercury before sunrise." - Stephanie Vermillion Stephanie Vermillion Stephanie Vermillion is a travel journalist and photographer covering culture and adventure for Travel + Leisure Outside, and more.
