The Draconids peak arrives this week under dark, nearly moonless skies.
Context from Wikipedia on the organisations, people and places in this story.
Northern Hemisphere meteor shower
The October Draconids, in the past also unofficially known as the Giacobinids, are a Northern Hemisphere meteor shower whose parent body is the periodic comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner. They are named after the constellation Draco, where they seemingly come from. Almost all meteors which fall towards Earth ablate long before reaching its surface. The Draconids are best viewed after sunset in an area with a clear dark sky.
