The 'Giacobinids' (also known as the 'Draconids') are a meteor shower whose parent body is the periodic comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner. It happens during early October, the best nights being Oct. 8-10. The Giacobinids are best viewed in the pre-dawn hours in an area with a clear dark sky. There were meteor storms of thousands of Giacobinids per hour in 1933 and 1946.
