Before sunrise tomorrow (Tuesday, Oct. 21st) is a good time to see the annual Orionid meteor shower which peaks today and tomorrow. This meteor shower is caused by the Earth passing through the dusty debris from Halley's Comet, but is hard to observed during the night due to the Full moon. Check out spaceweather.com for updates and a sky map, and happy meteor hunting!
