This year the Orionids peaks on the evening of October 20/21 but there will be more meteors than usual a couple of nights ether side of that date too. To watch it, go out after midnight, find somewhere dark, out in the open, away from light pollution, look up – and wait. Eventually you’ll see a shooting star zipping away from the constellation of Orion. If you’re lucky you’ll see a shooting star every five minutes or so, maybe even more frequently.
