The Draconids, a flurry of ice and rock debris from Comet 21P, are a meteor-shower rarity.
(Typically, a meteor showers radiant is highest in the early morning.)
That means you dont necessarily have to pull an all-nighter to catch the spectacle.
The shower runs Oct. 6-10, and peaks around 11 p.m.
ET on Oct. 7.
While it peaks late Oct. 7, you could still catch streaking meteors the night of Oct. 8.
Increase your Draconids luck by stargazing from a locale with low light pollution, such as adark-sky parkorstargazing hotel.
