Draconids Meteor Shower

October 6 - October 10

If you look to the sky between October 6 and 10th, you will have a chance to see the Draconids Meteor Shower. The shower will bring about 10 meteors per hour. The shower will also peak on the night of October 7. That might be the best night to watch.

To have the best meteor shower experience, it’s recommended to be located in the Northern Hemisphere. However, almost everyone can still see it. Here are some tips for watching a meteor shower:

Give your eyes about 20 minutes to adjust.
While viewing the meteor shower, stay away from city lights and don’t use your phone.

We hope you enjoy the Draconids Meteor Shower. Want to see what other meteor showers will happen soon? Check out our space calendar.
