Stargazers in the northern hemisphere will have the chance to observe the Draconid meteor shower as it peaks Monday evening into early Tuesday morning. The Draconids are somewhat of an oddity when it comes to meteor showers,

A rare meteor shower will peak late Tuesday when a short celestial outburst is predicted to occur, illuminating the night sky with streaks of light.

Draconid meteor shower is set to peak on 8 October, offering skygazers in the Northern Hemisphere a rare chance to witness dozens of ‘shooting stars’ light up the night sky. Astronomers predict that around 10 meteors will be visible every hour at its peak on Tuesday,

Each October, the Draconid meteor shower makes its annual return, offering a rare opportunity for skywatchers to observe a meteor shower that occurs in the early evening rather than the usual late-night or pre-dawn hours.

The Draconid meteor shower returns, expected to be fainter this year. While typically yielding only a few meteors per hour, rare outbursts can go over 1,000.
