TL;DR Summary

The Orionids meteor shower, resulting from Earth passing through the dust and particles of Halley's Comet, will peak this weekend, offering a chance to witness one of the most stunning celestial events of the year. The meteor shower, often mistaken for shooting stars, leaves light trails and can produce bright fireballs. This year, the Orionids will be at their best during the pre-dawn hours of October 21 and 22. No equipment is needed to view the show, but allowing your eyes to adjust to the dark and finding a dark, open area will enhance the experience.
