Orionids

Went out early yesterday morning to watch for meteors. Halley’s Comet passes by every 75 years. Most recently in 1986. But every year we orbit through its tail twice, and the dust in the tail leads to the Orionid meteor shower. The Orionids can be seen from October 15 through October 29, but the morning of October 21 was supposed to be the peak, allowing us to see about 20 meteors an hour, seeming to shoot out of Orion’s right shoulder.
