The Draconid meteor shower will peak Sunday evening and you won't have to stay up until the wee hours of the morning to see them, unlike most meteor showers. According to EarthSky, the height of the Draconid occurs during the evening shortly after nightfall. If skies clear, we might have the opportunity to see them in the Lehigh Valley and other areas of Pennsylvania.
A minor meteor shower takes place every year during the first half of October with hourly rates usually cresting around 10 shooting stars per hour.
Every so often, the Draconids explode into a meteor storm with hundreds to thousands of meteors per hour. In 2018, one produced over 100 meteors per hour, and over 600 per hour in 2011, according to EarthSky.
Meteors will appear to radiate from the northwestern part of the sky on Sunday evening above the Big Dipper. However, shooting stars could appear in any area of the sky.
If you miss this one, another meteor shower will take place later this month with the peak of the Orionid meteor shower.
