Orinoid Meteor Shower Peak at October 21. How to see it?

Submitted by Valencia on Wednesday, 21 October 2009No Comment

Meteor RainOrinoid meteor shower occurs this month from October 17-October 25, and if the forecasters are correct it will reach its peak at about 20 meteors per hour on October 21. The best viewing time will be after midnight in the eastward sky.

The annual Orionid meteor shower occurs when Earth passes through comet debris left by Halley’s Comet. Since meteor showers are wider than Earth, they may actually appear all over the sky, so don’t be discouraged if your eastward view is obstructed.

So prepare your wishes, because Disney told us that “when you wish upon a star…anything your heart desires will come to you”… right?
