Chi Cygnid meteor shower.
Rare Chi Cygnid meteor shower peaks this weekend, won’t return until 2030
The mid-September meteor shower only comes once every five years, and stargazers will have a chance to see the rare event in the weekend sky.
The night sky will soon host a rare type of meteor shower, one that appears far less often than the annual favorites like the Perseids or Geminids. The Chi Cygnids, which only come around once every five years, is expected to peak between Sept. 13 and Sept. 15.
"With the Chi Cygnids, it’s not about seeing a huge number of meteors, as with the famous August Perseids or December Geminids. Those seeking Chi Cygnids are inspired by the thrill of the hunt! If you see one or just a few Chi Cygnids, you’ll have bragging rights," EarthSky explained on its website.
Only a few meteors are expected every hour, but the ones that do streak across the sky will be much slower than the typical shooting star, making them easier to spot.
