About Orionids 2026
The Orionids meteor shower peaks on the night of October 21, 2026 (October 21/22). Halley's Comet's second annual gift: fast meteors radiating from Orion's club in the pre-dawn hours of late October.
Best practice for any meteor shower: dark sky, no telescope, eyes adjusted for 30 minutes, look halfway up toward the radiant's constellation. The counter above runs to the peak night; meteors are visible several nights either side.
