☄️ Orionids · peak Oct 20 · ~20/hr · 🌖 moon 93%

Wednesday, October 2, 1929 – November 7, 1929 All day

Peak: October 20, 1929, around 21:00 UTC — up to about 20 meteors an hour under a dark sky. The Moon will be 93% 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.
