Stargazers, mark your calendars! The Orionid meteor shower is putting on its annual cosmic show this week, with peak visibility on October 21-22. Expect up to 20 shooting stars per hour streaking across the night sky 🌌 – no fancy equipment needed!
Why This Shower Slaps
Born from debris left by Halley’s Comet (yes, THAT comet), the Orionids are known for their speed – these meteors zoom at 148,000 mph! Look toward the constellation Orion (hence the name) after midnight for the best views.
Pro Tips for Maximum Vibes
🌃 Escape city lights – rural areas = better visibility
😴 Let your eyes adjust for 20-30 minutes
🪑 Grab a reclining chair or blanket
⏱️ Patience is key – nature’s fireworks aren’t on TikTok time
