Content overview: “Orionid Meteor Shower Peak 2025: See Halley's Comet Debris Light Up the Night Sky”. Skywatchers are in for a celestial treat as the Orionid meteor shower reaches its peak overnight on October 21-22, 2025. The Orionids are produced by debris from the famous Halley's Comet, which last visited Earth in 1986 and will not return until 2061. As Earth passes through the comet's dusty trail, tiny particles burn up in our atmosphere, creating fast, bright meteors that can leave glowing trains. Under ideal dark-sky conditions, observers may see up to 20 meteors per hour radiating from the constellation Orion.
The best viewing time is after midnight, when Orion rises high in the southeastern sky. The moon will be a thin crescent, setting early and leaving dark skies for the show. No special equipment is needed—just find a location away from city lights, allow 20 minutes for your eyes to adjust, and look up.
