From Bill Cooke of NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office: "The Canadian CMOR radar is reporting a major Draconid outburst, commencing at 16 UT on Oct. 8th. Radar rates are at 1000 meteors per hour. This is greater than last year's outburst, and 5x the 2005 level." Northern sky watchers, especially in Europe where night is falling, should be alert for shooting stars. Also, you can tune into Space Weather Radio to hear live Draconid radar echoes. [sky map]
