The Orionid meteor shower is expected to peak Wednesday morning, October 21. Orionids is caused by debris coming from the famous Halley’s Comet.

This is the most spectacular meteor shower there will be until Halley’s Comet makes its next appearance in 2062.

With no moon interfering with seeing the fainter meteors, it is expected that the Orionids will produce from 15 to 20 meteors per hour at its peak.

While the shower could start late Tuesday night, the best viewing, however, will be just before dawn.
