☄️ Draconids · peak Oct 8 · ~10/hr · 🌖 moon 86%

Tuesday, October 6, 1914 – October 10, 1914 All day

Peak: October 8, 1914, around 08:00 UTC — up to about 10 meteors an hour under a dark sky. The Moon will be 86% lit: a bright Moon, which will wash out all but the brightest meteors. Meteors seem to come from Draco; the debris is from Comet Giacobini–Zinner. Usually quiet, but it has stormed, when the Earth crossed fresh trails of its comet.
