A stop at the middle of the world near Cayambe Ecuador prompts one to look up.
A belt of clouds often shrouds our planet’s equator, though I am always delighted to look up at night and see a Carl Sagan sky! This weekend, remember to LOOK UP for the annual Lyrid Meteors! The peak time for seeing the shower will be on April 21/22 – Sunday night/Monday morning.
Learn about the equator and the lines of the solstice and equinox at Cayambe Ecuador’s Mitad de Mundo attraction,.

Although a gentle rain is falling now, I hope to glimpse a few early arrival meteors later tonight. Sometimes it pays to look up!

That’s all folks! Let me know if you catch any meteors!
