Telescopes are not required; In reality, NASA does not recommend them in this caseBecause it can limit someone’s vision to a small part of the air.

“Meteor shower appears annually or at regular intervals while the earth goes through the trail of dusty debris that has been left by a comet,” ” NASA explains. “Meteor shower are usually named after a star or constellation that close to where the meteors appear in the air.”

The Draconids Meteoren Shower

It is possible to see them In the southern hemisphere, but you have to be fairly close to the equator to see Dracos stars.

• What to expect: If the sky is dark enough, you might see up to 10 meteors per hour, According to NASA. The large and clear super full moon can make it difficult to see the Draconides this year.
