There will be a so-called meteor shower, October 2009, this month. It is called the Orionids. What is it?
The meteor shower, Orionids, is a result of the collision of particles with the Earth’s atmosphere. This takes place when every year in this month while the Earth orbits in the Sun, there’s a space that contains particles in one comet. These particles get burnt which produces meteor shower.
The shower would likely be seen between October 16 to 27. It is believed that the 21st of October might be the best time to look for it.
