🔥 What Makes the 2025 Draconids So Exciting?

Unlike other meteor showers, the Draconids peak right after sunset, making them perfect for family stargazing nights and backyard astronomy. They’re named after the constellation Draco the Dragon, and when active, they seem to burst from the dragon’s mouth—how cool is that?

In some years, like 1933 and 2011, the Draconids surprised stargazers with meteor showers, and 2025 could do the same. That’s why now’s the time to gear up.
