Want to see one of the prettiest meteor showers of the year? Look up towards the Southwestern sky this weekend for the Orionid meteor shower.

Peak nights for the Orionid meteor showers are October 21st and 22nd. The Orionid meteor shower is a moderate shower that produces about 25 meteors per hour on the peak nights.  As long as the sky is clear, and as of right now, weather forecast for the weekend is calling for mostly clear skies, then you should be able to get a pretty good show

"The Orionids are one of the top five meteor showers of the year and will bring the best chance to see a shooting star since the Perseids meteor shower back in August
