Orionid Meteor Shower from Halley's Comet Debris Peaks This Week

The Orionid meteor shower, created by debris left behind by Halley's Comet, is set to peak overnight Wednesday into Thursday. NASA notes the display will be partially washed out by a moon that is about 77 percent full, and recommends viewing after moonset, around 3:30 AM EST, for the best visibility.
