DRACONID METEOR WATCH: Earth is about to pass through a stream of debris from comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner, source of the annual Draconid meteor shower.* Last year, Europeans witnessed a faint but furious outburst of 600 meteors per hour when the shower peaked.* No such display is expected this year, but the Draconids are notoriously unpredictable.* Northern-hemisphere sky watchers should be alert for slow-moving meteors emerging from the head of the constellation Draco the Dragon (not far from the North Star) on Sunday night, Oct 7th, through Monday morning Oct. 8th. Check http://spaceweather.com for more information and updates.

INCOMING CME:* A coronal mass ejection (CME) is heading for Earth.* The incoming cloud is expected to deliver a glancing blow to our planet's magnetosphere on October 8th, possibly sparking auroras at high latitudes.* Would you like a phone call when the CME arrives?* Geomagnetic storm alerts are available from http://spaceweathertext.com (text) and http://spaceweatherphone.com (voice).

Don't just watch meteors, wear them.* Authentic meteorite jewelry is available in the Space Weather Store:* http://www.shopspaceweather.com

SpaceWeather.com -- News and information about meteor showers, solar flares, auroras, and near-Earth asteroids

METEOR OUTBURST: Radars in Canada are reporting a major outburst of Draconid meteors commencing at 16 UT on Oct. 8th. "Radar rates are at 1000 meteors per hour," says Bill Cooke of NASA' Meteoroid Environment Office. "This is greater than last year's outburst, and 5x the 2005 level."

Cooke encourages northern sky watchers, especially in Europe where night is falling, to be alert for Draconid activity. Because radars are sensitive to very small meteoroids, there is no guarantee that this radar outburst will translate into meteors visible to the human eye. On the other hand, a brilliant display could be in progress. The only way to know is to go outside and look.

The 1000 meteors/hr peak ended about 11 hours before you posted the info.It only lasted about an hour at most and 99% were not visible except to radar.
