The Lyrid meteor shower peaked over the weekend, but stargazers can still catch the amazing star show LIVE.

Live images of the Lyrid meteor shower will be broadcast live tonight and early Tuesday, between April 22-23.

The live stream of the Lyrids meteor shower can be seen in the video below starting 8:30 p.m. ET, courtesy of NASA's MSFC feed.

The 2013 Lyrids meteor shower peaked late Sunday evening.

The best way to view the Lyrid meteor shower is to lay on your back and look straight up. It is expected to be a chilly night so spectators should make sure they wrap up warm and be sure to stay away from city lights that can spoil the viewing.

The Lyrids began on April 16 and will continue until April 25 but its peak is over this weekend. Star gazers will be able to see up to 20 meteors per hour and can even reach up to 100 meteors per hour. The Lyrids will leave bright visible trails.

The meteors come from the constellation Lyra and the shower can be spotted in the eastern sky Sunday night.

The Lyrid meteor shower happens every year in the middle of April when the Earth passes dusty debris from the Comet Thatcher. This meteor shower has been observed by mankind for at least 2,600 years.
