Event Description
Like the Eta Aquarids, the Orionids meteor shower is a by-product of Halley’s Comet. The Orionids are active from October 2 -November 10, with peak expected October 23, with clear-sky rates of about 20 meteors per hour.
Watch for Orionid meteors on the mornings of October 23, starting after midnight through the wee hours before dawn.
Orionids are named for their radiant near the constellation Orion, the hunter, which is one of the easier constellations to spot with the three stars that make up its “belt.”
