"Get Ready for the Orionid Meteor Shower: A Spectacular Weekend of Shooting Stars"

The Orionid meteor shower will peak on Sunday night, but meteors can be seen throughout the weekend at a rate of 10 to 20 per hour. The best time to spot a meteor is in the early morning hours, and it is recommended to wait for the moon to set for better visibility. The Orionids are caused by debris from Halley's Comet, and they are known for their bright and fast-moving meteors. Other upcoming meteor showers include the Southern Taurids, Northern Taurids, Leonids, Geminids, and Ursids.
