The Orionid meteor shower is expected to peak on Saturday morning.

That lack of light pollution will help in viewing an annual meteor shower.

Even though some meteors could be visible Friday night this shower is typically most active in the early morning hours. Caused by debris from Halley’s Comet the shower typically produces 10-20 meteors per hour.

The radiant is from near the club of the famed hunter Orion and is expected to be in the southeastern sky in the pre-dawn hours.

As always, find a dark place as far away from the city as possible for the best show.
