☄️ Orionids · peak Oct 20 · ~20/hr · 🌗 moon 53%

Thursday, October 2, 1924 – November 7, 1924 All day

Peak: October 20, 1924, around 15:00 UTC — up to about 20 meteors an hour under a dark sky. The Moon will be 53% 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.
