On the night from October 8 to 9, Belarusians will be able to observe the peak of the Draconid meteor shower.

The maximum is expected around 4:00 a.m. on October 9. The new moon will make the sky especially dark, making meteors easier to spot.

Draconids are known for their slow movement, and some of them may leave a faint reddish trail.
