Orionid meteor shower to light up night sky through most of November
The Orionid meteor shower, a celestial event caused by debris from Halley's Comet, is set to illuminate the night sky throughout much of November. The shower will reach its peak on Monday, but will remain visible until November 22nd. During the peak, skywatchers can expect to see up to 20 meteors per hour, though the actual number may vary. The Orionids are known for their bright, fast-moving trails and are considered one of the most reliable annual meteor showers. Observers are advised to find a dark location away from city lights to maximize their viewing experience. The best time to observe the Orionids is typically between midnight and dawn, when the shower is most active. This celestial event offers a unique opportunity for stargazers to witness the wonders of the night sky and appreciate the ongoing interaction between Earth and the remnants of Halley's Comet.
