Draconid Meteor Shower Peaks This Week

Skywatchers have a chance to see some "shooting stars" this week with the annual Draconid meteor shower. Weather permitting, skywatchers can see the Draconid meteor shower radiating out from the constellation Draco (the Dragon) near the triangle formed by the stars Deneb, Altair and Vega. NASA estimates that, on average, about 10 to 20 meteors per hour will be visible during the Draconids.
