The Draconid meteor shower is an annual event in which meteors — aka “shooting stars” — appear in the sky of the Northern Hemisphere. Typically, it occurs in October. This year, you can view the Draconids from Oct. 6 to Oct. 10, but the meteor shower will peak around the evening of Oct. 7 to the early morning of Oct. 8.

"Assuming the sky is clear of cloud, to observe the meteor shower it is best to be outside for at least 15-20 minutes to allow for your eyes to adjust to the nighttime," astronomer Sam Rolfe of the University of Hertfordshire in England told Newsweek.

While the annual shower usually makes for a sleepy showing, it has been known to produce fantastic outbursts in the past
