SV500 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 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 !

Maldav Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 October 21st: the Orionid Meteor Shower 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
