Sky Show Tonight
The annual Orionids meteor shower peaks tomorrow as our planet passes through debris from Halley’s Comet.
Experts say that we could enjoy 25 meteors per hour tonight as the peak occurs between midnight and dawn.
For best results, get away from city lights with a view of the full sky. Look for the constellation Orion, which should be high in the sky about 2 hours before sunrise. Give your eyes about 20 minutes to adapt and you should be rewarded!
The shower will still be going on tomorrow night, but tonight is the peak.
