00:00Get ready for some cosmic fun this week.
00:02The Draconid meteor shower is set to peak on Tuesday, October 8th, just after sunset.
00:09Scientists are saying you may only catch about 10 meteors per hour, which makes it smaller
00:14than the average shower, but still worth watching as these slow-moving streaks come from Comet
00:2021P and appear to originate from the constellation Draco the Dragon, hence the name.
00:28And with the moon reportedly only illuminating at about 23 percent, the meteors will shine
00:33even brighter.
