If you don’t mind staying up late, or getting up early, you could be treated a spectacular show from outer space.
The Orionid meteor shower is expected to peak between 1:00 a.m. and dawn on Wednesday.
The shower is made up of debris left by Halley’s comet. About 30 meteors an hour are expected, and you won’t even need a telescope to see them.
Orionids appear every year around this time when Earth orbits through an area of space littered with debris from the ancient comet. Normally, the shower produces 10 to 20 meteors per hour, a modest display. The past few years, however, have been much better than usual.
Other variant is possible also
