Draconid Meteor Shower Tonight

The predictions for todays Draconid Meteor shower are that of an intense meteor storm. Cool! Earlier this year Canadian astronomer Paul Wiegert predicted that this shower could produce up to 1,000 meteors per hour!

However, this shower favors Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. The Draconids peak during daytime in North America. Still, I think it's worth taking a look tonight anyway. The Moon will be bright, but there may still be plenty of meteors to see.

Draco is a circumpolar constellation, so can be found in the northern sky around Ursa Minor. Dress warm and happy hunting!
