Look up for two meteor showers this week
Shooting stars and fireballs could create quite a show
in the night sky this week courtesy of two meteor sh owers.
The Draconid meteor shower will be active through October 10, although Tuesday night might afford th e best view.
The
South Taurid meteor shower is expected to peak on the evenings of October 9 and 10, according to the American Meteor Society. If this doesn't pan out, the Royal
Astronomical Society of Canada's Observer's Handbook suggests that the peak could be on Nove mber 6.
Look out for the Draconid meteor shower in the early evening or nightfall. This won't be one you have to stay up past midnight to see.
The full moon is on October 13, but even in the days lea ding up to it, the bright moon may obscure the light of the meteors. However, the Draconid meteor sho wer is on the smaller side. Expect to see a few met eors streak across the sky in an hour.
