Draconid Meteor Shower

The radiant point for the Draconids is the head of the dragon in the constellation Draco. The peak is on the evening of October 8. Unlike most meteor showers, this one is best viewed in the early evening. This year, a waxing crescent moon will set during dusk, so it won’t obscure the shower. The Draconids does not usually produce a lot of meteors, although in certain years it has featured a surprisingly high number.
