   METEOR OUTBURST: Radars in Canada are reporting a major outburst of Draconid   
   meteors commencing at 16 UT on Oct. 8th. "Radar rates are at 1000 meteors per   
   hour," says Bill Cooke of NASA' Meteoroid Environment Office. "This is greater   
   than last year's outburst, and 5x the 2005 level."   
       
   Cooke encourages northern sky watchers, especially in Europe where night is   
   falling, to be alert for Draconid activity.  Because radars are sensitive to   
   very small meteoroids, there is no guarantee that this radar outburst will   
   translate into meteors visible to the human eye.  On the other hand, a   
   brilliant display could be in progress.  The only way to know is to go outside   
   and look.  Check http://spaceweather.com for more information and updates.   
       
   Don't just watch meteors, wear them.  Authentic meteorite jewelry is available   
   in the Space Weather Store:  http://www.shopspaceweather.com
