Orionid Meteor Shower Peaks with Stunning Sky Show

Skywatchers can expect a dazzling display as the Orionid meteors light up the night sky this weekend.

  • The Orionid meteor shower, originating from Halley's Comet, is peaking from Sunday night into Monday morning.
  • Viewers can expect to see approximately 10 to 23 meteors per hour, with optimal viewing after midnight until dawn.
  • The meteor shower is visible worldwide, except in Antarctica, and will remain active until November 22.
  • A waning gibbous moon may interfere with visibility, so it's recommended to find a dark area away from city lights.
  • The Orionids are known for their bright, fast meteors, creating a spectacular sight as they streak across the sky.
