New Scientist on Instagram: "Don't miss the Orionid meteor shower next week 💫⁠ ⁠ The Orionids meteor shower, peaking on October 21, 2025, is a spectacular celestial event caused by debris from Halley's Comet, offering a chance to see 10 to 20 meteors per hour under ideal conditions. This year the peak of meteor shower coincides with a new moon so it'll be easier to see it streak across the night sky. ⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in bio to learn more ⁠ ⁠ #meteorshower #skywatch #stargaxzing #orionids #space
