Q: In this task, you are given a text of many news articles seperated by special token "|||||". Your task is to summarize them.
The sky will be dark and moonless for at least three hours before the first light of dawn on Thursday morning (April 23), when the annual Lyrid meteor shower is due to reach its peak. 
  
 Even if the weather in your area doesn't cooperate, you can still get a look at these shooting stars tonight (April 22). The online Slooh community observatory will air a free Lyrids webcast at 8 p.m. EDT (0000 GMT on April 23) at its website: www.slooh.com. The webacst will include live views - and sounds - of the meteor shower along with expert commentary by Slooh astronomer Bob Berman and colleagues.

The meteors are called "Lyrids" because their paths, if extended backward, appear to diverge from a spot in the sky not too far to the southwest of the brilliant bluish-white star Vega, in the constellation of Lyra the Lyre. Within a day on either side of the shower's maximum, about 5 to 10 Lyrids can usually be seen each hour by a single observer under good skies. At its peak, the Lyrid rate is roughly 10 to 20 per hour. [Photos of the Lyrid meteor shower]

 Vega appears to rise from the northeast around 9 p.m. local daylight time, but by 4 a.m. it has climbed to a point in the sky nearly overhead. You might want to lie down on a lounge chair so you can be comfortable while you get a good view of the sky. Bundle up, too, for nights in April can be quite chilly. 
  
 While hardly a rich display, like the famous August Perseids or December Geminids, the April Lyrids are brilliant and move fairly fast, appearing to streak through our atmosphere at 108,000 mph (174,000 km/h). About 20 to 25 percent of the Lyrid meteors leave persistent trails. 
  
 The meteors' path strongly resembles that of Comet Thatcher, which last appeared in 1861 and has an orbital period of about 400 years. Thus, the Lyrid meteor shower is this comet's legacy: it represents the tiny bits and pieces shed by this comet on previous visits to the inner solar system. Earth’s orbit nearly coincides with Comet Thatcher around April 22 each year. When we pass that part of our orbit, we ram through the dusty debris left behind by the comet.

 There are a number of historical observations of meteor displays believed to be Lyrids, most notably in 687 B.C. and 15 B.C. in China and A.D. 1136 in Korea, when "many stars flew from the northeast." On April 20, 1803, townspeople in Richmond, Virginia, were roused from their beds by a fire alarm and were able to observe a very rich display between 1 and 3 in the morning. The meteors "seemed to fall from every point in the heavens, in such numbers as to resemble a shower of skyrockets," according to a contemporary account. 
  
 In 1922, an unexpected Lyrid rate of 96 per hour was recorded, and in 1982 rates reached 80 per hour. So, although the Lyrids are usually a relatively weak display, they have the ability to surprise observers.

 Although the shower started on 16 April and goes on to 25 April, astronomers said the best time to view it would be on Wednesday and Thursday night. 
  
 Clear skies are likely to provide a perfect celestial stage, say forecasters. 
  
 People will be able to see an estimated 15 to 20 shooting stars every hour, although an especially active Lyrid shower produced around 90 an hour in 1982. 
  
 The meteors, sand-like particles shed by Comet Thatcher, leave luminous streaks across the sky as they burn up in the atmosphere.

 Dr Radmila Topalovic, an astronomer from the Royal Observatory, in Greenwich, London, said: "The best place to see the Lyrids is to find an open field where you can see the whole of the night sky. 
  
 "The best time is a few hours after midnight where you can expect to see most of the bright streaks in the early hours of the morning. 
  
 "Scan the sky over the course of the night as the meteors can pop out from any direction."

A:
The Lyrid meteor shower peaks overnight Wednesday and into Thursday morning, and those inclined should head outside at some point after midnight and simply look up. (Meteors should be visible Thursday night, too.) No special equipment is needed, though Space.com recommends lying back on a lounge chair because the best views will likely be directly overhead. The bad news is that the Lyrids typically don't have anywhere near the numbers associated with bigger showers such as the Perseids or the Geminids. The good news, though, is that the sky will be moonless for about three hours before dawn and thus ready for prime viewing.
