cuz we all need a break, so let’s look at the night sky

The annual #Draconid #MeteorShower is expected to peak on the night of Wednesday, Oct 8.

"The Draconid shower is a real oddity, in that the radiant point stands highest in the sky as darkness falls. That means that, unlike many meteor showers, more #Draconids are likely to fly in the evening hours than in the morning hours after midnight," EarthSky explained.

Typically modest the #Draconids might break tradition this year! Forecasts predict a burst of 150–400 #meteors per hour on October 8. Moreover this may be the last Draconid outburst until 2078! 🌠🐉 #Space #Astronomy #MeteorShower #SkyWatch #DraconidShower #Stargazing #Cosmos #CelestialEvent #Science

Happy Space Science Saturday! The Draconids Meteor Shower peaks on the night of October 7! This is a minor shower, which produces only about 10 meteors per hour, caused by dust from comet 21P Giacobini-Zinner. Unlike most showers, the Draconids are best viewed in the early evening.
This year, unfortunately, the Moon’s light will block most of the display, so only very patient observers may be lucky. The shower runs annually from October 6–10, with meteors radiating from the constellation Draco but visible anywhere in the sky.

We did see some Draconids last night! Tonight is another chance to see them if you haven't yet. Much fainter than my favorite Perseids but a good reason to find a dark spot and look up at the night sky. #Stargazing #Draconids
