The first major meteor shower since January is set to peak in April. Did you know that the first week of April is celebrated as the International Dark Sky Week? Make a wishThe Virginids are the first of the meteor showers after the ones in January. They are a relatively small meteor shower, running from April 7-18 and peaking on April 12 this year. The bright moon may tend to block out many of the faint showers, but keep gazing to catch a few of the bright ones.
