Fireworks From Space This Weekend 

(Undated)  —  You might want to take a moment to look at the night sky this weekend.

The Orionid meteor shower peaks Friday and Saturday, putting on a show of celestial fireworks.

All of the shooting stars in this meteor shower are fragments of the famous Halley’s Comet.  This year is an especially good time to see the Orionids since the shower is just days after a new moon with clear skies. The best time to look up will be between midnight and dawn.
