– November 7, 1923
All day
Peak: October 21, 1923, around 08:00 UTC — up to about 20 meteors an hour under a dark sky. The Moon will be 90% lit: a bright Moon, which will wash out all but the brightest 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.
