Draconids Meteor Shower Peak
Wed Oct 8 - Thu Oct 9
Appearing when Earth passes through the tail of Comet 21P / Giacobini-Zinner, the comet was a perihelion in 2025; speculation has arisen this may be a year with peak yielding many hundreds per hour. However, the Full Moon the day prior may compromise viewing. Most years show 10-20 per hour, appearing in Constellation Draco, near stars Eltanin and Rastaban in the head of the dragon. Draconids are active Oct 6-10, 2025.
