Meteors leave streaks of light behind them as they pass through the atmosphere, giving them the appearance of a shooting star.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While most meteors burn up as they fall toward Earth, some survive the trip and are then considered meteorites.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>What makes the Lyrids unique?<\/h2>\n<p>The Lyrids can be surprising; while viewers can expect 10 to 20 meteors per hour during peak, heavier showers have seen as many as 100 meteors per hour, according to NASA.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The meteors don&#8217;t usually leave glowing trains behind them, but they can produce occasional bright flashes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Lyrid meteors originated from comet C\/1861 G1, which was discovered on April 5, 1861, by A. E. Thatcher.<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;re named for the constellation Lyra and the meteors appear to radiate from an area near the star Vega, the brightest star in this constellation.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"chartbeat\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation component--type-recirculation-collection\">\n<p>                  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/feature\/space-astronomy\/?intcid=CNI-00-10aaa3a\" class=\"component__view-more component__view-more--sm\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\"><br \/>\n            More<br \/>\n            <svg viewbox=\"0 0 32 32\" class=\"icon__caret-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n              <use xlink:href=\"#icon-caret-down\"\/>\n            <\/svg><br \/>\n          <\/a><br \/>\n                    <\/aside>\n<p>    <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/aliza-chasan\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Aliza  Chasan<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Aliza Chasan is a Digital Content Producer for &#8220;60 Minutes&#8221; and CBSNews.com.
