"Get Ready for a Spectacular Meteor Show: Draconid and October Meteor Showers to Peak Soon"

TL;DR Summary
The Draconid meteor shower, also known as the Giacobinids, will be visible from October 6 to October 10. The best time to watch is around 8 pm on October 8 in the northwest sky. Although not the busiest meteor shower, the Draconids have the potential to turn into a meteor storm, with over a thousand meteors visible. The shower occurs when Earth passes through the debris left behind by comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner. If you miss the Draconids, the Orionids will peak on October 21 and 22, caused by debris from Halley's Comet.
