Draconid Meteor Shower 2011 (October 8)

Watch one of the Draconid Meteor Shower 2011 events tonight, October 8th. The meteors all appear to “rain” into the sky from Draco, the dragon, which is in the north. Some experts expect an unusually good display, although the U.S. is not well placed for the show.
