Comet Thatcher will be causing the Lyrid meteor shower (http://www.spaceweather.com/meteors/lyrids/lyrids.html?PHPSESSID=o7gcklqq1oer5b4llgcadp8tj0) tonight (22nd April).
I just thought it was apt seeing as we've (as a nation) have just buried our first lady prime minister of the same name.
Wow! I wasn't aware that Maggie had passed. My heart goes out to the British Commonwealth, as she was one of the greatest states-persons of all time, IMO. From now on, the Lyrids will hold a special place in my heart. :(
