Draconid Meteor Shower Peaks Tonight, Offering Rare Evening Viewing

Skywatchers in the Northern Hemisphere can witness the Draconid meteor shower, which is best viewed just after nightfall.

The Draconid meteor shower, originating from Comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner, is visible from October 6 to 10, peaking on October 8.
Unlike most meteor showers, the Draconids are best observed in the evening, as the radiant point is highest in the sky after sunset.
Observers can expect to see up to 10 meteors per hour under ideal conditions, though the shower is known for its variability.
The waxing crescent moon, at 27% illumination, will set early, providing darker skies for better meteor visibility.
For optimal viewing, find a location with minimal light pollution and allow your eyes time to adjust to the darkness.
