"Your Guide to Watching the Draconid Meteor Shower This Weekend"
The annual Draconid meteor shower will peak this weekend, offering favorable viewing conditions. The shower will be active from Oct. 6 to Oct. 10, with the peak occurring around Sunday or Monday. The moon will be less than 20% illuminated, providing dark skies for skywatchers. To see the shower, locate the Draco constellation, from where the meteors appear to originate. Find a spot away from light pollution, set up a comfortable chair, and allow your eyes to adjust. The Draconids are caused by debris from Comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner burning up in Earth's atmosphere.
