SUMMARY:The Moon 46′ from Jupiter
DESCRIPTION:The Moon passes 46′ from Jupiter — close enough that a thum
 b held at arm's length covers both at once\, and a pair of binoculars hold
 s them in one field. Look before dawn\; the Moon moves its own width every
  hour\, so the gap looks noticeably different either side of tonight.\n\nh

SUMMARY:Draconids at maximum
DESCRIPTION:The Earth crosses the densest part of a dust trail left by 21P/
 Giacobini-Zinner\, and the debris burns up at 20 km/s. Under a genuinely d
 ark sky with the radiant overhead this is worth about 5 meteors an hour 
 — a real sky and a real radiant altitude will give fewer\, and a bright 
 moon fewer still. Meteors appear all over the sky\; they only trace back t
 o Draco\, which is where to point a camera and not where to stare. It is u
 sually almost nothing\, and about once a generation a storm of thousands a
 n hour\; the slowest meteors of any shower\, and the only major one best w
 atched in the evening rather than after midnight.\n\nhttps://spacecatalog.

DESCRIPTION:The Earth crosses the densest part of a dust trail left by 2P/E

  the radiant overhead this is worth about 5 meteors an hour — a real sky
  and a real radiant altitude will give fewer\, and a bright moon fewer sti
 ll. Meteors appear all over the sky\; they only trace back to Cetus\, whic
 h is where to point a camera and not where to stare. It is ten weeks of ac
 tivity at a handful an hour\, made worth watching by the fireballs — slo
 w\, orange and bright enough to cast a shadow. The radiant drifts right ac
 ross the sky over those weeks\, from Cetus in September into Taurus in Nov
 ember\, so the shower is named for where it ends up rather than where it i
 s on any one night.\n\nhttps://spacecatalog.org/calendar#2026-10

 test meteors that reach us\, and the shower with the most spectacular hist
 ory — every 33 years or so\, when the parent comet has just been past\,

SUMMARY:Quadrantids at maximum
DESCRIPTION:The Earth crosses the densest part of a dust trail left by 1962
 56 (2003 EH₁)\, and the debris burns up at 41 km/s. Under a genuinely da
 rk sky with the radiant overhead this is worth about 110 meteors an hour 
 — a real sky and a real radiant altitude will give fewer\, and a bright 
 moon fewer still. Meteors appear all over the sky\; they only trace back t
 o Boötes\, which is where to point a camera and not where to stare. It is
  the sharpest maximum of any shower — the good hours are about six wide\
 , so the peak either falls on your night or it does not.\n\nhttps://spacec

  It is the best night of the month to look at the Moon and the worst to lo
 ok at anything faint\, because its light scatters through the whole sky.\n

SUMMARY:Southern δ Aquariids at maximum
DESCRIPTION:The Earth crosses the densest part of a dust trail left by 96P/
 Machholz\, and the debris burns up at 41 km/s. Under a genuinely dark sky 
 with the radiant overhead this is worth about 25 meteors an hour — a rea
 l sky and a real radiant altitude will give fewer\, and a bright moon fewe
 r still. Meteors appear all over the sky\; they only trace back to Aquariu
 s\, which is where to point a camera and not where to stare. It is a broad
 \, faint stream with no sharp peak\, best from the southern hemisphere and
  from southern latitudes in the north.\n\nhttps://spacecatalog.org/calenda

SUMMARY:α Capricornids at maximum
DESCRIPTION:The Earth crosses the densest part of a dust trail left by 169P
 /NEAT\, and the debris burns up at 23 km/s. Under a genuinely dark sky wit
 h the radiant overhead this is worth about 5 meteors an hour — a real sk
 y and a real radiant altitude will give fewer\, and a bright moon fewer st
 ill. Meteors appear all over the sky\; they only trace back to Capricornus
 \, which is where to point a camera and not where to stare. It is slow and
  bright rather than numerous — the rate is low but a good fraction of wh
 at it does produce are fireballs\, and both hemispheres see it equally.\n\

SUMMARY:Perseids at maximum
DESCRIPTION:The Earth crosses the densest part of a dust trail left by 109P
 /Swift-Tuttle\, and the debris burns up at 59 km/s. Under a genuinely dark
  sky with the radiant overhead this is worth about 100 meteors an hour —
  a real sky and a real radiant altitude will give fewer\, and a bright moo
 n fewer still. Meteors appear all over the sky\; they only trace back to P
 erseus\, which is where to point a camera and not where to stare. It is th
 e reliable one\, and the one that falls in the northern hemisphere's warme
 st nights — bright\, fast\, and often leaving persistent trains.\n\nhttp
