Shower expected to last until end of month
There's a good opportunity for Manx residents to spot the Lyrid meteor shower this week.
Local astronomer Howard Parkin of AstroManx says the Island is set for a bout of clear weather, perfect to view the shooting stars.
The shower is due to start being visible from tonight (Thursday) until a week on Saturday (25 April) - it's expected to peak around the 21 April.
Mr Parkin explains when, and where, to look:
Southern 100 planning to run classic sidecars for 2026
It's after modern machines were excluded from July event
BMA to ballot doctors in the IOM for industrial action
It's amid ongoing disputes over pay and working conditions
