Residents of the Northern hemisphere until November will be able to observe orionid, but best of all they will be seen on October 22.

October is a special month for astronomy fans, because at this time every year the Earth passes through the tail of debris left behind three different comets. Not so long ago in the sky it was possible to observe a meteor shower Draconids, and in the coming days the sky will be visible orionid formed the famous Halley’s comet.

This shower of meteors will be visible until November 7, but don’t wait for that date, since its peak of orionid made in the coming days. On the night of October 22 and early morning of October 22, you will get the opportunity to see up to 20 meteors per hour burn up in the Earth’s atmosphere.
