The annual Orionid meteor shower lit up autumn night skies around the world this week, peaking on the nights of October 21 and 22. 🌠
NASA and the American Meteor Society report that observers under clear, dark skies could glimpse about 20 to 25 meteors per hour. These shooting stars are known for their speed and brightness, streaking from a point near the border of the Orion and Gemini constellations. ✨
Whether you were stargazing under Delhi's clear monsoon skies or on a beach in Bali, this cosmic show was a must-see. For the best view, pick a spot away from city lights, give your eyes 20 minutes to adjust to the dark, and just look up! 👀
Keep an eye on the calendar for the next meteor shower – your personal planetarium awaits. 🚀
