The first meteor shower of autumn, the Draconid meteor shower, will reach its climax on Friday night, October 8, 2021.<\/p>\n
Unlike other meteor showers, the Draconid meteor shower will have a peak of only one night. You can see the peak from October 8th to 9th.<\/p>\n
Some years, stargazers can see 100-plus shooting stars in one hour. While it is unlikely this year, you can still see from 5 to 10 shooting stars per hour.<\/p>\n
If you’re thinking, “I really don’t want to wake up at two in the morning to see a meteor shower,”- you won’t have to! The best time to see the Draconid meteor shower will be at dusk<\/p>\n
The shooting stars associated with the Draconids originate from near the constellation Draco (the dragon). [1]<\/sup><\/a> But you will be able to see the shooting stars anywhere across the sky.<\/p>\n Stargazers need to take in consideration of the weather. If it’s cloudy, you can’t see the shooting stars. The majority of the United States will be fair to good viewing.<\/p>\n Make sure to put this event in your calendar so you can see the Draconid meteor shower!<\/p>\n The first meteor shower of autumn, the Draconid meteor shower, will reach its climax on Friday night, October 8, 2021.
