A stretch of late-year meteor shower begins this month as the Draconids sparkle in the sky between Oct. 6 and 10, peaking on Tuesday, Oct. 8. The Draconids are a minor shower, with about 10 meteors an hour, but they are more convenient to see than some, as they occur just after sunset. Fog permitting, look near the Little Dipper for the constellation of Draco, the Dragon, and accompanying falling stars in the northern sky.
