Don’t Sleep Tomorrow Night! 🌌

The Orionid Meteor Shower is reaching its peak on October 21–22, and the night sky is about to light up with shooting stars streaking from Orion’s constellation.

This annual celestial show, created by dust and debris from Halley’s Comet, can bring up to 20 meteors per hour under dark skies. The best time to watch? After midnight until dawn, when Orion rises high and the sky is darkest.

Find a quiet spot away from city lights, let your eyes adjust, and just look up — the universe will do the rest.

Mark October 20th down on your calendar. If the sky is clear, it could be one of the most rewarding nights to watch the sky. The Orionid meteor shower reaches it peak along with a new moon. So if you are away from city lights, you can see about 10-20 meteors per hour. At the same time there are two comets in the sky that will near their peak brightness. Comets are extremely difficult to predict on how they will behave in terms of brightness. The best data available right now suggests that Comet SWAN (C/2025 R2) will be near naked eye visible (magnitude between a +6 and a +7) in a dark sky location. If you have binoculars you will have a better chance of seeing it if you know where to look before midnight. The second comet will be around in the evening sky before 10pm. It is Comet LEMMON (C/2025 A6). This comet was discovered near Tucson, Arizona earlier this year at the Mt. Lemmon observatory. It is more likely to be naked eye visible in a dark sky location. The latest data shows a magnitude between a +2 and a +4. Things can change, but the potential is there for some great night sky viewing next month. Even if it is cloudy on the 20th, shooting stars and comet viewing will be possible in the days surrounding October 20th. Stay tuned for updates as we get closer.
