Viewing Sextantid meteor shower from Delaware Sept. 27, 2021
The Daytime Sextantid meteor shower will be active from 9 September to 9 October, producing its peak rate of meteors around 27 September.
From DELAWARE, the shower will not be visible before around 04:41, when its radiant point rises above the eastern horizon. It will then remain active until dawn breaks around 06:29.
The shower is expected to reach peak activity at around 08:00 EDT on 27 September 2021, and so the best displays might be seen before dawn on 27 September.
From Dover, the radiant of the shower will appear at a peak altitude of 19° above your horizon, and on the basis of this, it's estimate that you are only likely to see only around 1 meteors per hour, even at the shower's peak. Be hopeful.
At this time, the Earth's rotation turns Dover to face optimally towards the direction of the incoming meteors, maximizing the number that rain vertically downwards, producing short trails close to the radiant point. At other times, there will be fewer meteors burning up over Dover, but those that do will tend to enter the atmosphere at an oblique angle, producing long-lived meteors that may traverse a wide area of the sky before completely burning up.
