The Orionid meteor shower, produced by debris from Halley's Comet, reaches visibility from Friday, according to BBC Weather guidance. The annual shower occurs each October as Earth passes through dust left by the comet, producing bright fast meteors. Observers are being told how best to spot it, typically by looking at a dark sky away from city lights during the peak activity period.
Why now: The annual Orionid meteor shower is starting, prompting interest in how and when to watch it.
