Here's a reminder for any night owls who might have a desire to look heavenwards, despite the cool autumn night
air. On the seventh of this month, we have the Draconid shower, only predicted to be but a few meteors an hour, but
one never knows with these fiery travellers from far space, might be exceptional. View in the evening for these fire-balls
and likewise both the 6th and 8th worth a look in case these nights prove best. Also on the twenty-first, same applies
for the Orionids, but view, (er Graham), just before dawn. These meteors appear to radiate from the club of the hunter of
the great Orion constellation. Want to read more, put up EarthSky on Google.
