Last night on our walk, we saw several meteors, about one every 3-4 minutes; most of them were just west of Orion. Being the inquisitive guy that I am, I searched today to see if there was a meteor shower predicted. Sure enough, I found out that the Orionids are supposed to happen in October. Only problem is, they are supposed to happen tonight!
So, if you are the late-night kind of person—and live where you can actually see the sky—take a look-see outside tonight toward the east, just west of Orion. If we saw some last night, tonight should be very nice, indeed!

Like most meteor showers you can see them several nights, but in the new is mostly only the peak mentioned. I saw already the first ones 2 days ago.
