Orionid Meteors
The Orionid meteor shower should be at its best on the nights of October 20 and 21, with the best viewing for American skywatchers in the hours before dawn on the 21st. The meteors appear to "rain" into Earth's atmosphere from the direction of Orion (hence their name). However, a meteor can streak across any part of the sky, so you don't have to look toward Orion to see the "shooting stars." [Tim Jones/StarDate]
