Terran on Saturday night waiting for shooting stars

In the coming weekend, our planet will pass through a meteor shower Draconid. This year, as suggested by astronomers to be incredibly bright stars to: Under favorable conditions, can be seen more than a thousand meteors per hour.

However, two factors greatly complicate the observation of the Earth. First of all - the bright full moon, and secondly - the climatic factor. The fact that a significant activity of "Star Storm" will be in the northern hemisphere, where autumn now, so in most regions of the sky covered with thick and dense clouds.

It is best to watch the shooting stars will be in Europe, North Africa and the Middle East, said TSN.ua. But North Americans do not see the Shooting Stars, as the peak time of flight of the flow in the U.S. and Canada will be the day. On the night of October 9, an unusually heavy rain will star residents of Buryatia. As the correspondent of the IRA "Vostok-Teleinform" Head observatory Buryat State University Lilia Mironov, peak activity is expected in the morning and 5 in the morning.

As a rule, of all the periodic meteor showers Draconids is the weakest and significantly inferior to the power of the August Shooting Stars - the Perseids, writes SiteUa. Also in October Orionids meteor shower is activated. Star rain from Orion will be particularly strong on October 21.
