The Draconid meteor shower is one of two meteor showers that can be seen in October. Up to 1,000 shooting stars per hour will be on display during the shower. According to space website Earthsky.org: “Usually, this meteor shower offers no more than a handful of languid meteors per hour, even at its peak. “But this shower has been known to rain down hundreds or even thousands of meteors in an hour.”

The meteors come from the direction of Draco the dragon in the northern sky, which is the constellation which they took their name. The Draconid meteor shower comes from the comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner, which orbits the Sun every 6.6 years, and occurs every year in October.This weekend there is a reasonable chance of Earth passing through a swarm of debris left in the comet’s wake.

Revelation 12 New King James Version (NKJV)
3 And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads. 4 His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth.
Satan Thrown Out of Heaven
7 And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, 8 but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them[a] in heaven any longer. 9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
