Halley's comet will make itself known at night. Those who wake up early may see its traces.
The Orionid meteor shower, linked to Halley's comet, peaks on the night of October 21-22, offering a chance to see bright meteors. Best viewing is recommended in the early morning when the radiant point is higher in the sky. Weather conditions may affect visibility, with clouds and rain expected on Wednesday, but clearer skies might return Thursday night. The shower is active from October 2 to November 7, and patience may reward observers with bright meteors, known as bolides. For optimal viewing, find a dark location, allow your eyes to adjust to the darkness, and consider using a camera for photography.
