cuz we all need a break, so let’s look at the night sky
The annual #Draconid #MeteorShower is expected to peak on the night of Wednesday, Oct 8.
"The Draconid shower is a real oddity, in that the radiant point stands highest in the sky as darkness falls. That means that, unlike many meteor showers, more #Draconids are likely to fly in the evening hours than in the morning hours after midnight," EarthSky explained.

Typically modest the #Draconids might break tradition this year! Forecasts predict a burst of 150–400 #meteors per hour on October 8. Moreover this may be the last Draconid outburst until 2078! 🌠🐉 #Space #Astronomy #MeteorShower #SkyWatch #DraconidShower #Stargazing #Cosmos #CelestialEvent #Science
