Roast A Pig! Meteor Shower Tonight!!!!
METEOR WATCH:
The annual Draconid meteor shower peaks Oct. 9th at 0430 UT--in other words, tonight at 9:30 pm PDT or 12:30 am EDT. Don't expect a big display. The source of the shower, comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner, is far away and unlikely to produce more than a few slow meteors every hour. It should be noted, however, that unexpected Draconid outbursts have happened as recently as Oct. 2005 resulting in dozens to hundreds of meteors. Could tonight be such a night? Here's where to look.
