About our Orionid Meteor Shower news
Latest news on the Orionid Meteor Shower, a display of shooting stars that occurs every year in October. It is caused by the debris left behind by Halley's Comet, which orbits the Sun once every 76 years. The meteors appear to originate from the constellation Orion, which gives them their name.
The Orionid Meteor Shower produces up to 20 meteors per hour at its peak. They are also known for their bright fireballs, which are larger and longer-lasting than average meteors. The Orionids can be seen from both hemispheres, especially in the pre-dawn hours of October 22.
