Draconid Meteor Shower Peak (Draconids)

October 7, 2018

|Recurring Event (See all)

An event every year that begins at 12:00am on day 7 of October, repeating indefinitely

  • « AEHF 4 Atlas V Launch
  • ESA Open Day »

The October Draconids are a meteor shower whose parent body is the periodic comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner. The Draconids are best viewed after sunset in an area with a clear dark sky.

The 1933 and 1946 Draconids had Zenithal Hourly Rates of thousands of meteors visible per hour, among the most impressive meteor storms of the 20th century. Rare outbursts in activity can occur when the Earth travels through a denser part of the cometary debris stream; for example, in 1998, rates suddenly spiked and spiked again (less spectacularly) in 2005.
