No special equipment is needed for Tuesday evening's meteor shower peak, but clouds could hamper viewing opportunities for some.
Get yourself to a dark spot on Tuesday night because the Draconid meteor shower is reaching its peak that evening. With a bit of luck, this usually sleepy meteor shower could develop into a full-blown storm, with hundreds of meteors visible per hour.The shower has been active since Sunday and will likely remain visible until Thursday, but Tuesday offers the best viewing opportunity. Viewers across the U.S. can catch the display, especially in dark locations with minimal light pollution.
To get the best view, Anna Gammon-Ross, senior planetarium astronomer at the Royal Museums Greenwich, London, told Newsweek that stargazers should: Be outside for at least 20 minutes to allow your eyes to adjust. Find a darker spot away from light pollution if possible, though not essential. Lie down, as you may be looking up for a long time. No special equipment is needed, but it could be cold out, so dress appropriately.
