Here is what the page “Orionid Meteor Shower 2025: How to Watch Despite Bright Moon” contains. The Orionid meteor shower, one of two annual showers produced by debris from Halley's Comet, reaches its peak this week. Skywatchers face a challenge: a bright waning gibbous moon will wash out fainter meteors until it sets in the pre-dawn hours. The best viewing window occurs after moonset, typically between midnight and dawn, when the radiant in the constellation Orion climbs high in the southeastern sky.
Under dark skies, the Orionids can produce up to 20 meteors per hour, though moonlight may reduce visible rates significantly. For optimal viewing, find a location away from city lights, allow 20 minutes for eyes to adjust, and avoid looking directly at the radiant—meteors appear longest streaks about 45 degrees away. The shower remains active through late November, so observers who miss the peak can still catch stragglers on moonless nights later in the month.
