How to See the Orionid Meteor Shower and Other Upcoming Astronomical Events
Halley’s COmet won’t be visible from Earth for another few decades but you can see fragments of it streak across the sky this month in the Orionid meteor shower.
AI Summary
The Orionid meteor shower, composed of fragments from Halley’s Comet, will peak on October 21‑22 and run through November 7. In the United States, the optimal viewing window is from dusk on October 21 to dawn on October 22, with up to 20 meteors per hour visible in dark skies. Because the moon will be about three‑quarters full, the clearest sightings are expected in the early morning after moonset and before sunrise, when the sky is darkest.
