Orionid Meteor Shower Peaks October 21-22: Viewing Tips and Details
The Orionid meteor shower peaks overnight on October 21-22, visible across India during pre-dawn hours. Originating from debris left by Halley's Comet, the meteors appear near the constellation Orion, especially around the star Betelgeuse. Optimal viewing requires dark, rural locations away from city lights, with the best time after moonset and before dawn. Meteors travel fast and can leave glowing trails or fireballs. Viewing tips include facing east or northeast and watching a broad sky area rather than focusing solely on the radiant point.
