The Draconid meteor shower is set to peak from Monday evening to early Tuesday, offering a unique viewing opportunity as it is best seen shortly after nightfall rather than in the early morning.

With the moon only 27% illuminated, conditions are favorable for spotting the faint meteors, which may appear at a rate of up to 10 per hour.

The meteors emanate from the constellation Draco, as Earth intersects with debris from the comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner.

While the Draconids are generally sparse, historical meteor storms have produced thousands of meteors per hour, and viewers will have a chance for surprises.

To optimize visibility, it’s recommended to find a dark location away from city lights.

There are no special tools needed—just a reclining position to gaze at the sky, CNN has reported.

Additionally, upcoming lunar events include a supermoon on October 17 and the beaver moon on November 15.
