draconid
On October 8th, Earth is plowing through a stream of dust from Comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner, with an outburst of Draconid meteors. Every 6.6 years Comet Giacobini-Zinner swings through the inner solar system. With each visit, it lays down a narrow filament of dust, over time forming a network of filaments that Earth encounters every year in early October. comet 21P Giacobini-Zinner draconid meteors - © N.A.Sharp/NOAO/AURA/NSF view from mid-northern latitudes at about 9:00 p.m. local time around October 8 red line across the bottom of image represents the horizon. © etherealcounterparts
