Er det mon Draconid meteor shower vi ser?

Det er da en sand sværm af stjerneskud der bliver fanget for tiden, se bare her de sidste nætter:

“Everything you need to know: Draconid meteor shower

By Bruce McClure and Deborah Byrd in ASTRONOMY ESSENTIALS | October 6, 2016

The maximum number of Draconid meteors are expected to fall on the evening of October 7.

October’s Draconid meteor shower – sometimes called the Giacobinids – radiates from the fiery mouth of the northern constellation Draco the Dragon. Because the radiant is located so far north on the sky’s dome, this shower favors temperate and far-northern latitudes, such as the U.S., Canada, Europe and northern Asia. In 2016, the peak dates will probably be on the evenings of October 7, starting at nightfall. There’s a rather wide waxing crescent moon to obscure this year’s shower. Yet this shower is oftentimes a sleeper, even in a dark sky completely free of moonlight. But watch out if the Dragon awakes, which is always a possibility! Follow the links below to learn more about the Draconid meteor shower.”

Ja, der var pænt gang i den her til morgen.
For hver detektion er der angivet radiant og bane – umiddelbart synes der ikke at være ret meget systematik, der tyder på en bestemt sværm, og det passer ikke specielt godt med Draconide-radianten. Softwaren bør i øvrigt automatisk genkende Draconider – de er med i databasen.
Så jeg ved ikke lige, hvad der sker…

Nej det gør jeg heller ikke Anton

Spændende hvad der sker iaften/nat – over Hobro er der clear-sky
