This night is also the peak for Draconids Meteor Shower, which would normally be fairly washed out by the full moon… but during the eclipse, you’ll have a better chance of spotting these 10 or so meteors per hour. Good luck!
October’s Full Moon is the “Harvest Moon” (English), “Hunter’s Moon” (Native American), “Travel Moon”, “Dying Grass Moon”, “Blood Moon”, or “Sharad Poornima”.

This shower is made up of remnants from the famed Halley’s Comet and spans from October 2 through November 7. It will peak overnight on the 22nd with up to 20 sightings per hour. Because it is the night before the New Moon, 2014 is an excellent year to view this shower. The meteors will appear to be originating from the Orion constellation.
