This year's Draconid meteor shower will be gracing the night sky with shooting stars over five days.
One of the delights of autumn is the breathtaking celestial display granted by the long, dark nights. This particular show falls in early October and, in 2022, the dates are October 6 to 10 with the potential peak this upcoming Saturday, October 8.
Meteor showers happen when Earth crashes into debris left by comets. Also known as the Giacobinids, the Draconid meteor shower is a result of the rocks from a comet dubbed 21 P/ Giacobini-Zinner.
