In most years, Draconid activity is very low or entirely absent," NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office has said, highlighting the unpredictability of the Draconids, but this year, clear skies and low moonlight may enhance visibility.
The Draconids may only produce just five 'shooting stars' an hour, but their appearance before the Moon's First Quarter means conditions could be favorable for viewing.
The American Meteor Society forecasts a Moon that will be 83 percent full when the Orionid meteor shower peaks on October 20, which will hamper visibility significantly.
Finding a cozy spot to lay down and allowing your eyes to adjust to low light is essential, as patience is the biggest tool for capturing the celestial display.
