Meteor showers this weekend

Recommended Posts

The shower will radiate as if from the Constelation of Orion,

So if you look either side as well as up (lol) you stand a good chance,

So look somewhere to the side of "south",

Good luck !

That information is drastically wrong in reference to the speed of the meteors. It quotes "The Halley meteors are amongst the fastest and enter the upper atmosphere at ~41 km per hour ". You wouldnt see them move at that speed. Usain Bolt could keep up with one of those. Its more like 66 km/s (147,638 miles per hour)
