🌠 Meteor shower IN 48 DAYS · 21.10

Orionid meteor shower peak

The night of October 21–22 is the peak of the Orionids, born from the dust of Halley's Comet. Best after midnight once Orion climbs higher. A bright Moon (about 80% full) will interfere this year, so only the brightest meteors will show.
