☄️ Draconids · peak Oct 8 · ~10/hr · 🌗 moon 48%

Saturday, October 6, 1917 – October 10, 1917 All day

Peak: October 8, 1917, around 02:00 UTC — up to about 10 meteors an hour under a dark sky. The Moon will be 48% lit: some moonlight, which will hide the fainter 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. Peak times and rates: the International Meteor Organization's working list.
