Draconids Meteor Shower Begins Ahead of 2026 Peak

Original: draconids meteor shower 2026

The Draconids meteor shower has begun, with skywatchers looking ahead to its 2026 display. The Draconids are known as an unpredictable shower that can occasionally produce dramatic outbursts of hundreds of meteors per minute, far above its usual modest rates. The shower originates from debris left by comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner and is best viewed in the evening hours, making it accessible for casual observers across the Northern Hemisphere.

Why now: The annual Draconids shower has started, drawing interest from people hoping to catch a potentially spectacular display in 2026.
