A rare meteor shower and a supermoon will both appear in the night sky this week. The Draconid meteor shower is active from October 6 through 10, peaking on the evening of October 8. At the same time, a bright supermoon will dominate the sky, presenting unique conditions for skywatchers across the Northern Hemisphere.
The Draconids—A Rare Evening Meteor Shower
Unlike most meteor showers that peak after midnight, the Draconids shine brightest in the evening hours, just after dark. This makes them especially easy to spot for families and early risers. The radiant point, where the meteors seem to originate, sits near the head of Draco the Dragon, high in the northern sky for observers in the Northern Hemisphere.
