comets

The Orionid meteor shower, debris from Halley's Comet, will peak between October 21 and 22. Brazilian media report that the phenomenon will be visible in the October night sky, with good viewing conditions expected in areas away from city lights, such as near Três Marias in Minas Gerais. Stargazers are being advised to look up in the early morning hours for the best chance of spotting shooting stars.
