The Orionids: prolific meteor shower linked to Halley’s Comet
The Orionids meteor shower is active from late October to early November. Observers should find dark, open skies away from city lights and watch after midnight for the best display. The peak is expected in the early hours of Oct. 21-22, with up to 10-20 meteors per hour for many locations; Moonlight may interfere on peak night.
