– November 7, 1909
All day
Peak: October 20, 1909, around 18:00 UTC — up to about 20 meteors an hour under a dark sky. The Moon will be 35% lit: some moonlight, which will hide the fainter meteors. Meteors seem to come from Orion; the debris is from Halley's Comet. Halley's other shower: fast meteors, often with lasting trains. Peak times and rates: the International Meteor Organization's working list.
