The very successful Lyrids 2020
Abstract
Many clear nights occurred over Europe during the period of April 15 to 30, 2020. As a result of the Corona pandemic, air traffic was halted and emissions on the ground had also been significantly reduced. This fact in combination with many high-pressure fields above Scandinavia resulted in many super clear nights for the BeNeLux. It was not only good to observe in the BeNeLux, it was also stable clear weather in other parts of Europe. In addition to data from Europe, there were also some small datasets from America, Asia and Australia. All in all, the Lyrid data could be well calculated. 55 observers reported 1472 Lyrids via the IMO site. In this article the results of the visual analysis of the Lyrids 2020 are presented and discussed.
