"Get Ready for a Spectacular Meteor Shower this Weekend: How to Watch the Draconids"

The Draconid meteor shower is predicted to peak on the evening of October 8 into the morning of October 9, making it convenient for those who prefer to observe meteor showers in the evening. The Draconids are caused by the Earth passing through the debris trail of the comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner and typically produce around 10 meteors per hour. However, in some years, they can create a meteor storm with rates of hundreds to thousands of meteors per hour. To view the Draconids, find a dark-sky location away from light pollution and let your eyes adjust for about 20 minutes before looking up to the sky. The next meteor shower, the Orionids, will peak on the night of October 21 and is active from September 26 to November 22.
