Will you see “shooting stars” right after sunset this week as the Draconid meteor shower peaks? Here’s when, where and how to see them.

The Draconid meteor shower is an annual event in which meteors — aka “shooting stars” — appear in the sky of the Northern Hemisphere. Typically, it occurs in October. This year, you can view the Draconids from Oct. 6 to Oct. 10, but the meteor shower will peak around the evening of Oct. 7 to the early morning of Oct. 8.

While the annual shower usually makes for a sleepy showing, it has been known to produce fantastic outbursts in the past

"Assuming the sky is clear of cloud, to observe the meteor shower it is best to be outside for at least 15-20 minutes to allow for your eyes to adjust to the nighttime," astronomer Sam Rolfe of the University of Hertfordshire in England told Newsweek.

The Draconid meteor shower begins on Oct. 6 and will peak shortly after. Find out how to catch some of the action
