Local weather conditions permitting, the next few days are the prime time for spotting the Orionid meteor shower.
The Orionids, formed from the debris of Halley’s comet, are so called as the area of the sky they appear to come from is a region to the north of constellation Orion’s bright star Betelgeuse.
If you’re staying up late (or getting up early) and are lucky enough to spot the Orionids, we’d love to see your photos here at GuardianWitness.
