This is a great time to see fireballs in the sky because of the Orionid shower.
The moon will be in a waning crescent phase, which will make it easier to view the shower. This year's shower is an excellent opportunity for late-night skywatching due to the fact that it is one of the most reliable and prolific.
The name of the shower comes from the fact that the shower's radiant is next to the Hunter's club. In the northern and southern hemispheres, the constellation will appear in the northwestern sky.
There is a meteor shower in the year 2022.
Every year at the end of October, the Earth passes through a swarm of meteorites left behind by the comet. Dust encounters our planet's atmosphere and ignites the air in front of them There is enough incandescence to be seen from 60 miles below on the ground.
The best time to see the meteors is before dawn on Saturday. Due to the fact that Earth is moving in a certain direction, pre-dawn meteors are brighter than those earlier in the night. The early morning hours will see more meteorites than the night before.
If you want to see the shower, put out a comfortable reclining chair, find an area with as little light pollution as possible, and stay warm. Take at least 30 minutes to get used to it.
Space.com and our news partners would like to see images and comments from people who caught a photo of the shower.
