If you've always dreamed of an evening under the stars, you're in luck as a beautiful meteor shower is on its way.
The Draconid is set to peak in a few weeks, with the promise of a spectacular show of shooting stars.
Here's everything you need to know.
What is it?
The Draconid meteor shower is also known as the Giacobinids. It is one of two meteor showers to grace our skies in October.
Astronomers and star-gazers consider it to be one of the most spectacular meteor showers of the year.
To get the best view, look away from the moon, towards the northern half of the sky.
The Draconid meteor shower will peak in the very early hours of the morning on October 8. You might also be able to see in the early hours of the morning on October 7 and October 9.
Stragazers should also keep an eye out for the Orionids. It usually peaks much later on in the month, around October 21.
Do I need astronomy equipment to see it?
No, the only thing you will need is a clear and comfortable dark spot. You won't have to use binoculars or a telescope to enjoy the night sky.
The showers will appear in the sky like shooting stars so be sure to make a wish as they pass you by.
