Chi Cygnid Meteor Shower Returns After Five Long Years
• The Chi Cygnid meteor shower, visible roughly every five years, peaks around September 14th.
• Meteors travel at approximately 30,000 mph, slower than other showers, making them easier to spot.
• Cloud cover may affect visibility, with clearer skies expected in the eastern and western U.S.
Chi Cygnids peak around September 14th
The Chi Cygnid meteor shower, observed roughly every five years since 2010, is expected to be visible this weekend, reaching its peak around September 14th. First spotted in late August, this meteor shower presents a special chance to see 'shooting stars.'
