Draconid meteor shower

On Saturday, October 8th, Earth will pass through a network of dusty
filaments shed by Comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner.

Forecasters expect the encounter to produce anywhere from a few dozen
to a thousand meteors per hour visible mainly over Europe, northern
Africa and the Middle East.

The meteors will stream from the northern constellation Draco - hence
their name, the "Draconids."
