Night of falling stars: the Orionids meteor shower will be visible as early as tomorrow.
According to scientists, observing conditions this year are particularly favorable: it’s a new moon now, so the sky will be dark enough to see even faint meteors. The expected rate of the shower is 10 to 30 "shooting stars" per hour.
The radiant of the Orionids, that is the point from which the meteors appear to "shoot out," is located in the constellation Orion. It rises above the horizon at around 10–11 p.m. local time, and the best time to observe is from 1 to 3 a.m. Find the bright star Betelgeuse in the sky — the radiant is slightly north of it.
Scientists note that the Orionid stream consists of particles from Halley’s Comet scattered along its orbit. Although this shower is less spectacular than the famous Perseids and Geminids, it still remains one of the most beautiful autumn astronomical phenomena.
So, if you want to make a wish — now is the time. Take a warm blanket and go watch the stars tomorrow night.
