Keep your eye to the sky on October 7th, since in North America the Draconid Meteor shower will peak on that night.  Appearing to come out of the head of the constellation Draco, the Draconids are notoriously unpredictable.  Sometimes barely noticeable, they are caused by the debris field from comet  21P/Giacobini-Zinner, and occasionally the earth will pass through a dense pack of rocky trash, causing a surprising amount of action.  Last year in fact, over Europe, the Draconids did just that, producing an actual meteor storm of 600 per hour.  

Below is a Draconid meteor from last year, with a bit of aurora behind it.

Then, a short two weeks later, the Orionid shower will occur, and will appear to come from just above Orion's raised arm.   Lots of action in the sky this month, and for future reference, keep handy the EarthSky meteor schedule, which will tell you exactly when such excitement  should occur.
