Lyrid Meteor Shower

Picture credit: Shooting Star Wallpapers
 Tonight (Apr 21-22, 2012) is a great night to watch Lyrid Meteor Shower (from Lyra constellation).
Meteor shower is not a meteor storm, when the whole sky fills with meteors. Meteor storm is an extremely rare event, and it's not happening today.
During Meteor Shower, like tonight, you can expect to see 15-20 meteors/hour.
The best time to watch will be around midnight. Dress up warmly and sit on your patio. Allow around 40 minutes for your eyes to adjust to darkness.
