Orionid meteor shower: When and where to watch the celestial phenomenon across US
The Orionid meteor shower will peak on October 20 and 21, offering a spectacular display for stargazers in the US, coinciding with a new moon for optimal viewing. Best seen around 1 a.m., the shower, produced by Halley's comet debris, can yield 10-20 meteors per hour. Seek dark locations away from city lights for the best experience.
