Soon the Earth will
pass through a flow of debris that is left behind Halley's Comet, and you can
watch a fantastic show of heaven known as the Orionids meteor shower. This is
usually a very reliable meteor shower should peak at the upcoming weekend,
October 20-21, 2012, and had at this time to give up to 25 meteors per hour,
according to the McDonald Observatory, University of Texas at Austin.
To see the Orionids
meteor shower, you should look towards Betelgeuse, the bright orange star in
the constellation Orion. Do it best at night, in the wee hours, at a time when
the moon was go down and will not interfere with your observations.
To fully enjoy the
spectacular views of Orionids, watch them away from city lights. Lie on a
blanket or sit on a folding chair to your field of view covered the entire
night sky. If you can see all the stars of the Little Dipper, your eyesight is
well adapted to the dark, which will undoubtedly be an added advantage when
observing meteor shower.
