The Draconid Meteor Shower peaks on the night of October 8 with a modest average rate — but the Draconids are famous for rare outbursts producing thousands of meteors per hour, like the storms of 1933 and 1946. The parent comet is 21P/Giacobini-Zinner, and the radiant sits in the head of Draco the Dragon. The active window is brief, running through October 10.
