The Orionid Meteor Shower has already begun and observers from the International Meteor Organization have been counting 25 Orionids per hour, this rate is set to reach its peak in the early hours of Wednesday morning, October 21, 2009.
To see the Orionid Meteor Shower, which was left over by debris from Halley's Comet, you need to be up at 3 am, then watch the sky at dawn, only then will you be treated to a spectacular show. If you cannot manage to crawl out of bed, I am sure that a few videos will find their way on YouTube.
The Orionids happen each year, and is located near the constellation Orion, and are created by the debris left over from the orbit of Halley's Comet. The Comet can be seen from the naked eye as it passing by every 76 years.
According to National Geographic News, the most famous comet is made up of dirt and ice with a fifty-fifty combination; this was left over from when the planets were first formed 4.5 billion years ago.
Don't you just love seeing meteor showers LIKE I DO.
