1946, October 6-10. Meteor Shower (1946 Outburst). The Draconid meteor shower, originating from Comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner, peaked on October 9, 1946. This event was particularly remarkable, with observers reporting meteor rates ranging from 3,000 to 10,000 per hour. Despite a full moon that night, the shower's intensity made it visible across various regions, including South America. A fishing vessel captain off the coast of Uraguay stated that “the stars were overflowing”.
